NICE! I follwed this over on the Burnsland forum. Great work!
Got to do the Behind the Scenes tour at WDW last September...

 

[vaderdarth]

Sweet, I want to do that at WDW in Orlando one day.

 

[Rhett J Martin]

This. Is. Absolutely. Badass.

 

[vaderdarth]

Thanks man!

 

[DS Operative]

The track and roadbed really add to the realism and makes it stand out. Great job!

 

[vaderdarth]

Thank you sir.

 

[UFO]

This is such an awesome build! I love it!

 

[vaderdarth]

Thank you sir. It has turned out much better than I truly expected.

 

[Commander Dan]

Very cool! Do you have an actual G scale layout on which to run her, or is she for display only?

 

[Wes R]

I think Walt would love this. It looks amazing.

 

[vaderdarth]

No G scale layout, but I would love to do that one day. For now she'll sit up on the wall. I have a room in my office that has other similar locos on display. Thanks Wes.

You hit this out of the park. What a great project!

 

[vaderdarth]

Too kind sir!!!

 

[vaderdarth]

Caboose nearly done. Still have to respray body of caboose due to some dark areas. No biggie. Gotta do the decals still. They will be a dark green text/logo.

I think i need you to stop posting pictures of this..... Because I WANT ONE!!!

 

[vaderdarth]

addictive isn't it?

 

[vaderdarth]

Got my green pinstripes in the mail today.......now the tender decor is finished. Also finished the artwork for the caboose decals. I printed these on plain paper for size correction and this is my final design for caboose #13.

 

[vaderdarth]

Got the caboose decals applied. Decided to replace plastic handrails with metal.

 

[vaderdarth]

Nice weather today, couldn't resist some good outdoor photos......
