  Hey thanks Brett.
  
  Its definately my favourite. Lastnight I completed the roof. My original attempt was a totally rusted one, and a helpfull comment from Kevin on the RR Line made me go back and redo it.
  
  Let me know what you guys think.

  Hey Wes
  What a difference for the better! That looks great and is much more like what you see in 1:1.
  You are off to a great start with this little gem!

  Thanks for the kind words Joe. This little beauty has been a blast to build.
  
  We are in the progress of moving house, so not much being done due to the modeling goods being packed away. I did manage to complete some of the castings and ive glued them in place. Lots to do still though.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Let me know what you think.

  Just beautiful.
  I built a blacksmith car using another supplier's castings and the quality was not near as good as Brett's. Won an award with the car at a train show as you can see in my avatar.
  So I am wondering what would have happened with Brett's better castings. Best in show - - maybe ???

  Corrugated looks great Wes and I think the red faded paint is well done. I have seen a lot of these cars built over the years and think yours is top notch...
