| Wow, Brian, These are really good models. I had not seen these until just now. Excellent work. I'm trying to visualize them without the stickers. Still would be great models! Very nice. later, James Mathis (...) my (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)

| James, I responded to your post earlier today but it didn't show-up so here's another try. I've been making Z-scale models under a microscope for years so Lego scale is a cakewalk in comparison. Kathryn, made in 1996, was decorated entirely with (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)

| (...) Let me just begin by saying these are incredible creations! Absolutely stunning. My question is WHERE are you buying these so called stickers? I'd like to know where you are finding sheets of green and gold stickers etc. Or are you just just (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)

| Brain, Wow, those are some very impressive examples of your work. I'd love to see in some more detail on how you create the stickers. It's hard to believe that the three green bricks on the front of your "Kathryn" are not painted and only covered (...)
