Here is the Mountaineer Limited in HO. I have painted it for a customer and friend of mine. It is not quite done yet, but just about. It still needs the pinstripping on the drivers, window glazing, crew, coal in the tender and the wheel tires need to be cleaned.
That...is an excellent paint job!!!!!!
Do you think your customer would consider leaving the tender empty, so the coal load could vary between almost empty, and full?
