Robert,

Your image of the car is a testimonial to your workmanship.

Not only that, it demonstrates that these older kits really can be built up to make very nice models.

Very true, and the fact that it doesn't fall together adds to its appeal.

Quite Interesting. The Founding Fathers of our hobby obviously didn't have the inspiration we enjoy today, and yet they managed to get things going. They would be amazed as what Model Railroading became. We owe them a full scale thank you for their original efforts.
