   All in all the cars are better proportioned. But best of all, I got the colors much closer to the prototype.

I love the dark green, Benn! And I love the Twin Cities 400 line; it was the major competitor to the Hiawatha line.

Speaking of the Hi, I have pretty much completed mine, after only about 8 years in the making. Still need to sticker it up, though, so it’s not ready for pics.

Thanks for the kind words John and Cale.

The CN&W bi-levels are still among my favorite cars (though of course nothing can compare to dome cars). I like the single level cars that C&NW added a fake roof to so that they could run even with the long distance bi-levels.


Can’t wait to see your Hi John.
