Looks like it'd be a cool model.

I'd expect MT to jump all over this and increase its profit margin by taking Tom out of the pic as middle man, and start a commercially-sanctioned holiday graf series.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

I want a B&O boxcar with a 15 star/15 stripe flag and a big portrait of Gen. Armistead, with the tag reading "Happy Defenders Day!"  The opposite side of the car would have the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner.

I want one "HAPPY FOUNDER"S DAY" or maybe it was "DEFENDER'S DAY" ::)

(MVA used to be closed on this well known holiday)

MK4D has the waffle car, and it would be perfect for this project.

MDC waffle box?
There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

Interesting the shop simply overpainted the reporting # rather than black out the box for doing so.

Was it the shop that repainted the number, or the vandal? Some of them have learned that their "art" will remain longer if they don't obliterate the legally-mandated information on the car.

What if they painted the wrong road number?
