I recently bought a 7813 to get more white corner slopes, so I rebuilt it in a new color scheme. It has a tan base, with grey/ dark grey tanks and black accents. Pictures are here: (URL) Farver - mailto:rfarver@rcn.com (2 URLs) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

Great Joke, ben. You should have put a "coming out middle of 2001" type of thing on it, it would have made the fact that the pictures are very early prototypes seem more believable. You were even able to fool people who see prototype pictures all (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)
