Rough. Not paint from what I can see, rather underbody details. Loose, missing, knocked crooked.
I suppose there is a reason the stairsteps are installed backwards. Must be a Milwaukee thing.

The wire mesh prison windows are sure different than the NP.

At a grand for 7 cars, looks like one helluva deal to me.

Well which is it? He (Bob) either knows or he doesn't! inquiring minds want to know.

I doubt I wrote that. Had no idea there was a train store in Westminster."


Hence the commentary on Bob knows and doesn't know about a train store in Westminster....and it's all the fault of the Firefly!

So Bob is shopping in a store that he doesn't know exists! That's really sneaky!

What Bob does or not know is hardly within anything that I do; your expectations that everyone actually reads everything here and understands it is at best unrealistic.

Oh, I know! However, one can always point out the items missed by those speed reading without comprehension.

Any more? When folks spend all their time face down in their smart phone?

Used to be some folks thought literary pursuits involved People Magazine. Now it's da Google.

If it's on the internet, has to be right!

Including evilbait prices.

At least they are reading something...

But the point was that institutions of higher learning have nothing to do with teaching people to read -- that should happen in K-12. That kids end up unable to read is also on their parents.
