What kind of reception did Mr. Ed receive from the N detractors who no doubt were present?

None!

People were impressed and genuinely interested. In fact, I felt no "anti-N" sentiment at all.

This happened today.

It's been a LONG time in the waiting to be able to recreate a scene like this.

Yes, the engines still need some work, but it makes me feel good to be so close.

What are you changing on them CV/decoder wise ?  So the rest of us don't have to fight figuring them out  :D  Are you speed matching them to Atlas or Kato units ?

Nope, they're good.


I mean beneath the sills but I know you can fix that.

@Ed Kapuscinski,

A couple of things:

(1) Do the IM SD40-2s have MT #1016s (or clones) as couplers?  The coupling distance looks big and could be reduced by replacing the couplers with #1015s, if that's the case.
(2) We have to talk about those bridge shoes.  I love 'em, but they're killing realism by floating in the air.  Is the bridge filled with helium?  ;)
