From: Alan Lambert
Jim hit the nail so deep that it hit the target. All I can say is if you want
it prototipical buy the paint and paint it, but get the sandpaper and files out
to correct errors. Noone is perfect. If it was we would bee spending 3000
dollars for brass ready to run, or something is missing and you have to add it.
Makes you think tha Lionel is trying but some where they did not look at the
prototype colr scheme. At least we have something new that has NEVER been in
"S" before.
Thanks,
Alan
