I like it. I remember wanting one of those cars for my HO layout in the ‘70s.

Yeah. The moment I saw it I knew I had to build it. It’s just a great little freight vehicle. Not sure if it’s authentic or prototypical to anything but itsel but it’s still very neat.

Haha. Sorry. Much as I like the concept of Factory I’m too set in my free-wheeling ways to use its palette just yet. I still look at my designs in 10183 and think of changes I’d like to make if only I’d had the parts ;)

On a slightly different not I think I must have my green set too dark. It’s meant to be regular green. I’m slightly red-green colour-blind so certain colours don’t end up quite right.

   Then reality set in. Still, an excellent model.

Thank you
