That actually has promise. Not the paint scheme, but the basic car looks good.

Lol... no (at least I hope not..) my wife sent me the pic.. she must have been redoing the shelf setup in the train isle..

The model does look pretty good..

She sent a pic of a Fire Truck on Flat car too.. The Fire Truck looked good.. flat car was pretty basic..

It looks like it would be easy to change the road number.  Just use any random set of white numbers, and apply them sort of close to location.  Even I could get it closer than that!   :facepalm:
