Thanks! The windows were sitting around not doing anyone much good, so I
figured that this was a great car to use them on. A caboose deserves
haphazard window placement. The locomotive is scheduled for some minor
detailing changes, but I am definitely pleased with the overall shape.

I don't think that I have the parts for the passenger coaches, but I
definitely will do a couple more cars. The locomotive for this train is my
current focus, though. I've not done a steam loco yet and it's not easy to
do well. I'm not too concerned about finishing a whole train right away, as
we already have some Wild West guys in the club and I'm sure they'd be
willing to tow around my cars. Even so, it will be nice to do the whole
thing. I could just pick up one of the current steam locos, but for one
thing I hate to run stock stuff and for another they don't look much like
actual steam engines.
