Before I emerged from my Dark Ages, I dabbled in G scale (large outdoor

Taking that love of the Critter to L gauge brought back some good memories
for me

Cool.  I'd love to see a black version.  However, I should say that this
gray/red livery fits your growing similarly liveried stock very well.

I also took a moment to make my Shell(TM) Tanker kit more palatable as well.

Tell me what you think of the Critter,

Both the Lil' Critter and the new Shell Tanker are wonderfully compressed to
realize the originals' namesake and blend a distinct "cuteness" to the models.

Well done, Harvey.  Thanks for announcing them.  I look forward to your next
creation.

PS:  To all who post about new MOCs, I really enjoy the updates, revisions,
and announcements to your personal galleries which are not hosted at The
Brickshelf.  I regularly check the "what's new" in the BS gallery index, and
I would easily miss new additions to your personal websties.  I wish I had
the energy to reply to all the posts of new MOCs.  Thanks for keeping us all
updated!  I know I enjoy browsing the pics.

(...) That is very nice. It looks like a lot of fun. What do you mean by "inside-bearing wheels"? Chris (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)
