Steve-
If I were you I wouldn't spend too much time working on an HO "Burlington"
car.
Spend your time on detailing the new IHC heavyweights and the Branchline
heavyweights. The Q ran lots of green stuff right up to the end.
Patience is a virtue. All good things come to those who wait.
Confucious say, surest way to get a plastic model made is to complete
scratchbuilding it.
