Nice model. Big too (I visited Portland last week, and met Kim and Steve
Barile for lunch and got to see this engine in person).

Yea, we had a great visit.  It sure is nice to be able to put a face with
someone who you've been sharing a virtual community with!

The only thing the stickers have going for them is a Lego part number.

Removing the printing... Now there's something I've considered but never
been brave enough to actually try.  I'll probably wait till someone comes up
with a fool proof method for it.

Actually, as someone pointed out several months ago when this came up, if
you cary a brick in your pocket for 6 or 8 months, the printing seems to
come off (at least it worked that way with my Lego keychain!).
