Thanks CN...Mike's have to be one of the most appealing engines around. They seem to have struck just the right balance between pulling capacity vs. size.

Gotta love'em.... Thumbsup

Your new Mike turned out really well, Gus. Thumbsup Thumbsup Kudos to you for tackling that job.

Thanks Wayne. I can honestly say I wouldn't have done as well as I did without your generous help. Worship

BTW....You'll note I didn't put on the number boards. I spent close to 2 hours trying to place ONE numeral decal into a board, before I gave up...I'd reached my patience limit.... Nope

I'm always glad to be able to help out a fellow modeller, Gus. Big Grin
As for the number boards, if it's any consolation, I always wear an Opti-Visor when working on trains, and, for some jobs, use a jeweller's loupe and always, plenty of light.

This is the only Mikado I own. It's an ancient Mantua that was probably made in the 60's. Not sure about that. It needs a new motor. It'll run but it's very slow and makes the devil's own noise when it's moving.
