(...) As with other trains of yours, this one transcends the line between train and work of art. I just think it's great! Models like this one are a clear reminder of why the LEGO Train hobby is so great! (as are BBB wheels) Very nice work! -Jordan (16 years ago, 23-May-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
