Wow, Brian,

These are really good models.   I had not seen these until just now.  Excellent
work.  I'm trying to visualize them without the stickers.  Still would be great
models!  Very nice.

All,

Larry mentioned a train in the GMLTC pictures that is not a standard Lego
color.  It is my beloved locomotive "Kathryn" which pulls the royal train on • my
layout.  The dark green color and brass bands are achieved through the use
of stickers only - no paint.  Here you can see the Kathryn and some
additional sticker examples:

Kathryn represents an 1975 German class BII locomotive that pulls the
Royal Train on my fictitous provincial (German) railway.  The tender
is full height as it carties peat for fuel.

This is the class 22 electric switcher that I posted previously.  It
is also lettered for the K.W.St.E - Acronym in German for the Royal
Williamsburg State Railway (No relation to Wurtemburg).

Here is a quartet entertaining passengers at the Winterthur station.
Only a fanciful model railroad could include such a typically American
element in a European setting.  Custom figures and signage (note the
second class coach in the background) really add to the layout's
ambiance.

For the American enthusist, here is a Lego version of the William
Crooks and two coaches of the St. Paul and Pacific Railway.  This was
the first locomotive in Minnesota.  The train premiered last summer
at the GMLTC display at the National Model Train Show in St. Paul.
The American flag on the pilot has the correct number of stars for the
year that Minnesota joined the union.  The other flag is the Minnesota
state flag.
