John -
That's great work! The sand red is an excellent match. Nice job on the
buffers.
Three questions -
how's the stability of the cab of Bill/Ben, as it looks like it hangs
off the rear of the engine quite a bit
are the faces from the HO versions of Lionel TtTE?
how are the faces attached?
Thanks,
Ed
