Hello Stacy!
I just actually visited the site a few minutes before your post - nice job
on your Big Boy! It's too bad pictures of black bricks turn out so poorly as
it's hard to see the details. Mine just made a cameo on the GMLTC layout in La
Crosse last weekend and was even involved in a minor crack-up when one of the
lead wheels pulled free and was ran over by the rest of the locomotive!
Hopefully the pics will turn out and I can post the completed version (of course
just in time to rebuild it to 8-wide scale!).
Dan
