Nelson and Doug: None of my business but I find it hard to remain silent when it comes to our hobby and having fun!
You guys agreed on the price of the model, only issue is the shipping cost, right?
How about splitting the cost of the shipping and everyone is happy?
Compromise always seems to work when two people, presumably CB&Q associates sharing the same interests, are this close to a deal!
Good luck with the transaction!
Best regards- Dennis Popish

Good luck selling your model, and let me know if you change your mind.

You are truly a 1 in a hundred HO modeller. Your pursuit of performance, fidelity and real accuracy in a model is exceptional and should be admired.
Fact is though that is not what I have for sale.
I don't think that the Proto2000 folks had that level of accuracy in mind when they had this particular SD7 mass manufactured offshore several years ago. Rather I think they were trying to make some SD7's in a large number of paint schemes one of which happened to be CB&Q black and gray. For a variety of reasons they ended up with what was to them a commercially acceptable approximation of the kind of model you wish to build.
So in two different ways both you and the Proto2000 folks have an approach to the SD7 that satisfies the needs of each person. That I think is what diversity in model building is all about. In some ways we should be thankful that manufacturers make some compromises on fidelity so that in the end their customers get a wider choice of models to buy.
Anyway -- thanks Nelson for your offer on the SD7 -- but I will decline it and keep the SD7 on the market as outlined in my email of yesterday at 40 US$'s plus actual delivery costs to the buyers location. As I look at the current selling prices for this model I continue to be in the middle range of asking prices so that is where I am content to stay.
I hope that soon you find the right SD7 for you and finish it with all the accuracy you desire. It will be a great model.
Best, Doug Andrews
