Missing and broken parts are not good. I know, however, that a modeller of your calibre can rebuild them - for a lot less than $6,000,000 as well :grin:

Funny, you don't see too many railroad models, at least around here. Too bad because they are an interesting subject with tons of greebles and lots of detail that you can add. Your doing a fantastic job on this one. Although the missing parts (or parts of parts)are a pain, it is great to see the fixes you did to them.

That Puma was also some fine work too Ratch! Looks like a nice busy station you have going there.

Thanks Paul, I'm not really into super detailing, but I couldn't leave the missing and broken bits :lol:

Real life has gotten in the way for a couple of weeks, but I'm back with the wagons now.
