What Brad was probably thinking, when he told that story, but didn't
say was: "...and if you believe that, I've got a Galaxy Explorer to
sell you"!

Nice. I especially like the windshield. But you're missing the
portholes in the side.... should've bought some of Bram's windows

in 6-wide, but on an 8-wide the overall effect is a little too boxy.
Maybe you can get better results with slopes?

As Kjeld was "Oohing" and "Ahhing" over the model, he said to (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains) !
