(...) Very nice (as usual). I would have thunk that the end doors of the baggage car would not have had windows (but...?). I am still floored by the detailing you put on the interior of your cars. I'm almost half tempted to dare you to try that (...) (15 years ago, 22-Oct-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

But the better is they also exists in white, in the 2010 airport tower control. I already planned to make (...) (15 years ago, 9-Oct-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
