Doug,

The reflection off the windshield of that lead sled outside your tower is uncanny.  What did you use?

That is a Busch vehicle. It has a solid plastic window insert. I did not do anything.

Jane:  Thank you.  My only contact with Visp was a video tape from the late 80s, and I had no idea it had changed that much.

First N scale vehicle in a long time.

I'll bite... what is it?  Can't tell from the blurry pic.

Looks like a White Motor Corp truck tractor.

Yea, that's what I was afraid of... like the White Super Power (minus the headlights it looks like), which Sylvan manufactures already.

Wow, at that angle I didn't recognize it.

Those Bush 50s Buicks are actually decent models (especially when the detail-painted).
