Ok, I'll fess up. They are mine. That is my specialty steam loco. They are not
old, they are relatively recent. They are, well, they are, *(cough-cough,
mumble underbreath... Mega-Blok)*.
I don't speak loudly of me use of, others, in the presence of the others in
the group, (they want to tar and feather me when I do,) so I try, I really do
try, to keep my stuff "pure." Well, the stuff for show display. The steam loco
did not make it to the shows. You wont find it at the Greenberg photos or the
GATS photos.
You question seems to me to be more than just curiousity though. Tell me, does
it "look" good? Does it "look" right? I'd like to get other opinions.
Thanks.
