Its a very nice design...however...<IMO>, it would look better with windows
either the clear ones, or regular train/plane windows...

Nice, Tim...Good Luck...hope your old lady <grin> doesn't take a fit... :)
let me put it like this buddy...I got my "3rd" metroliner (actually my
2nd "complete" 4558) and put all the 9 cars together....3 + 3 + 2 + club
car.... and it is a pretty long train.... my next steps as mentioned
are:
another club car
metroliner operation/upgrade:
1) need to modify an "engine car" into a coach car
2) need to modify another "engine car" into a hybrid coach / observation
car
3) need to modify still another "engine car" into a "dining" car (it will
have a "full kitchen" and a moderately sized bar - one waiter and one or
two chefs!!!)
4) lastly the "engine car" at the rear will need to be modified so it has
a spot for the engineer, and the rest of the car will be two large cargo
holds ... the car will serve as a "luggage" car.
i don't have a crocodile engine....but it looks very sweet...personally,
I don't think I have a spot for it...hmmmm...it is probably too long or bulky
for my taste. Anyways good luck to you again, and I hope you are able to
win the items...you don't have to worry about me....that is unless you want
to try to get another club car....then again...it won't be until next week
when I start to bid on another one of those :)
