(...) Oh, yea, it's waaaay to short to be prototypical. But I see what you mean about the safety cab hood being a little too short.

No wrong turn, just a dare from Mat Clayson that I couldn't build an engine and four cars before he built a Moonbase Module. So, this (...) (19 years ago, 17-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
