I would LOVE tosee some of you guys PERFECT layouts. Or doing you have time to build a Actually yesterday I posted a shot of the progress of my layout in my
basement to the Files section. It still does have some work to do
though......!
Or are you spending time posting..."Hey guys, look at Now that's just silly.
I have brought my models to a PCRRHS convention plus RPM meets for all to
see. I also think that posting models to the PCModelers group exposes the
models to a much wider audience than the PCRRHS attendees.
It is one thing to nitpick but another thing to point out some problems
AND show how to fix them.
While I still think Athearn did a pretty good job with the Penn Central
F-units I am replacing the Genesis shell with a Highliner shell.
Why? Well one reason is that I already have a couple of Penn Central
F-units (Highliner shells on recycled Stewart mechanisms) and I guess I was more
careful in the construction of the Highliner shell than the Chinese assembly
line people were. I am more pleased with my own constructed models than
the RTR version and what's wrong with that?

p.s. - Bob that's a great looking model and hope to see more from
you. I have always enjoyed you Southern, NW, and NS modeling!!
