great model! orange has always been one of my favorite LEGO colors and it looks
fantastic on your model.

one question: where oh where did you get that black train window? it looks like
the santa fe window in black; peeron has no mention of it and bricklink came up
dry. do tell, please. :)

again, great model. another fine model to pique my interest in L-gauge trains
modelling.
