| | | | | (...) Having grown up riding B&M Budds (supposedly I've even had a ride in the cab, but I don't remember that - a friend of my mom's was a B&M engineer), I'd say looks pretty cool. I'll have to consider building one. Frank (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | (...) Great! This is a nice reflection on the name of the theme: "My Own Creation"--> Making it "Your Own Creation". I've have been very interested to see all the nice custom mods that folks make to the Santa Fe cars, as well as totally alternate (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | Very nice! You definitely nailed the look of it. It needs m.u. hoses on those headlight bricks tho, doesn't it? Those little control levers are good for that. Neat model all the same though. Especially the underframe stuff. -Stefan- (...) (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | (...) Nice! Very nice! that's going to be a tough real life build though, unless you go with yellow "safety ends". Not that yellow 1x2x2 windows are common, but the greys are *very* hard to come by. Please build it and bring it to BF! Spotlighted. (...) (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)
