John,
That is a GREAT looking model. You did a fantastic job on it. Is it possible
that you could write a description and include photos of your construction
for an article in the ZEPYHR? I know that this would be a great help to
those of us that would like to try our hands at one AND it would add a lot
of interest for the Zephyr newletter.
I just sent in my article on the combine/express baggage/RPO car I
kit-bashed, car #2752.
We need more individuals who have kit-bashed, or scratch built Q equipment
(any scale) to help fill voids and to contribute information via the ZEPHYR
that can be shared with other members.
Think about it.
Regrads,
