I can't be expected to remove anything... that's it; I'm never buying your products again.." SLAM!Phone call 0906 hrs: "Hello; why do you idiots not put the stripes on my tank cars. The car is not wrong for my era....I can't be expected to add anything - that's it; I'm never buying your products again..." SLAM !Moral of the story...... The manufacturer can't be right unless they offer so many versions that hey go broke trying to keep people, who should learn to do a little modelling, happy..........
