Amen, Rusty: These men inspired me, as well, and I always wanted to duplicate their efforts. Although I never reached their level of craftsmanship, like you I was inspired to try. Those days are behind me now, and I've become more of a "plop and play" modeler, like all the rest.
I always wnted to scratchbuild a model of the Santa Fe Pacific that runs (ran) in Texas. I never did, but thanks to them, I was inspired to think about trying it. At least I came through with my little fleet of Locomotive Workslop engines, and an SHS NW-2 after I worked it over with a pair of side cutters boB Nicholson ______________________________________________ --- In [email protected], "Rusty" <thebrassbasher@...> wrote: > > Yes, that era has ended, it's now about opinionators and flyscale. > > Rest peacefully: Jim Konas, Henry Sprague, Ed Filer, and all the others > that so delicately touched my life.
