Maybe you looked in on the couple of the sneak previews, she's finished now. Lots of work on this one and I'm pretty happy with it. Made a box for it too.

I better get off the keyboard and get back to work if I've got to make 71 of those. :o Perhaps I should have put 6471X instead of 64/71. However, I think Kev might just be jerking my chain a little.

A shout out to Bob for the kinds words.

Of course!

It also looked great with the thick black plastic wheels that come on the #71. With the hubs & tires I had to make some spacers to bring the hubs out further on the axles so that it would look right. I went back and forth on which wheels and decided a little more color was a good thing.
