Hey guys - long time no see!!!
Today I picked up my Mikado from Dr. Wayne, who added the vestibule cab, FWH, pipes and valves, as well as the numerals and the weathering. She's a beauty and I owe Wayne a real debt of gratitude for his stunning conversion. Thanks again Wayne!!!
When I got there, we put the train on his layout and took a little spin through the lovely southern Ontario counrtyside. I managed to get these pics.
Here's one showing all the cool piping and detail, and of course the all-weather cab that is so impossible to find off the shelf.

After the photoshoot, we ventured out into the real 1:1 southern Ontario countryside, and actually caught a train barrelling past at one of our stops. All in all, a very fun day.
cheers
