Thanks for the welcome, shaygetz! The Bachmann model is basically scrapped...all that's kept are the two motors and trucks. The motors are turned sideways on the chassis allowing for the hoods to clear. If anyone is interested in these, they're still available from the manufacturer, but the stock is low. That's why I always buy in pairs. The green is pullman green, Scalecoat II. The decals were custom made for my road. The Class D Baldwins that I get later on this year will be painted in a tuscan red. The pants are KMT/Precision Scale that I picked up, oddly enough, from a parts dealer at the National Narrow Gauge Convention when it was held in Warwick, RI a couple of years ago. I still have to add the window glazing, constant & reversing headlight, DCC decoder, and a crew that won't park 'n snooze between drills!
Oh, the guy on the platform was hired from Weston, my favorite line of figures and, IMHO, the best ever made.
