Do these cars deserve a spot in the TRW banner rotation?
Absolutely! These cars hit every possible area of A+ model railroading:
prototype research
drawings
patterns/jigs/fixtures
devising techniques for scratchbuilding the parts
and then scratchbuilding the parts
paint, lettering, weathering...
AND all the detailed photos and presentation of the project.
Every aspect was executed well. All the parts were made with utmost precision and accuracy. Models so completely executed from start to finish this well are rare.
Tim, you should be darn proud.
This is superb work!
