Hello,
I just wanted to say that I took your advice last night and rebuilt the
engine with an equal amount of orange and black. I am really glad you
suggested this, because it not only looks better color-wise, but it is more
accurate proportionally. It also enabled me to tweak a few details that
weren't just right, and save a ton of orange plates.
I also added decals I changed into stickers by removing them from their
backing and pressing them face down onto packing tape. To my delight, the
decal sheet had a perfect sized Millwaukee Road emblem for the sides, AND a
Farbanks-Morse logo for the front... I am really fond of this engine now!
If anyone wants to see (it doesn't really look *too* different from the
original engine posted) I will be updating the 'shelf with pics of this
final version in a minute.
just wanted to say thanks!
Joel K
