Time for the good and bad. The new chassis is in the mail as we speak. Now that I've realized the plating on the original wheels is all but worn off, I'm thinking I'll use the whole new/old chassis. I snapped some pictures of the good and bad so far.
First up, the good. My new pilot from Yardbirdtrains.com. I still need to add a new light, marker lamp jewels, and paint the bell. The new pilot helps complete the "I'm not a Mantua" look!

The bad, Forrest Gump shedding his magic shoes! Note the stripped out hole in the wheel.

Hopefully next week I'll get to finish this fun project.
