Thanks to all for your kind words.
I delivered the loco yesterday, along with a couple of boxcars, and they were very well-received.
In fact, he called me today just to thank me again. :oops:
Matt, I was surprised that the large numbers worked so well: they're what he requested, but I was skeptical. However, I found them to be more appealing than I had originally thought, and may use the same on one of my own locos. Half of that loco, though, has been at NorthWest Short Line since February, so you won't likely be seeing it any time soon.
The same friend sent me home yesterday with another loco in need of care (no wonder I never get any of my own stuff done).
It's currently in pieces, as it needed a really good cleaning, but he thinks it also needs a new motor - we'll see. It definitely does need some additional pick-ups, as it's a brass 0-6-0, and unable to pass over a long Insulfrog crossing.
