BDD now Steggy, glad to see you’re still at it! I’ve given the thread another well-deserved complete read thru.

Yep, I’m still at it...slowly, but surely. :D Despite medical science’s best efforts, I’m still alive. :wink:

Progress goes in spurts. Here’s a recent photo of the body as I continue with the detailing. Unfortunately, I don’t have vinyl for the nose art, C&NW logo, etc., and with Connie Miracle closing up shop...

There are several companies that do vinal wraps for Offroad cars that may be able to help you out.

Thanks, but I don’t do Facebook. Is there a website somewhere that isn’t social media?

That is Gorgeous! (And that from a guy that hates Diesels with as much passion as I love Steam!)

Mighty fine looking machine! If it runs as well as it looks, you are going to need a new supply of buttons for your shirts as you pop them off swelling up with pride!

Heh! My thoughts, exactly. I'm not interested in trains, diesels and electrics specifically. I'm interested in steam, but it's hard to not pay attention to such pretty and exacting workmanship.

Very nice. Now all you need are the decals. If I was to build a diesel it would be an F7.
