Thank you Rick!
What I think is pretty cool. I didn’t really damage the car to much and can take all my ghetto garbage back off and put it back to how it was without the paint and fluting I cut off underneath.
But wait…
There’s always more.
(Just like unexpected Rooster facts, the follow-up questions only multiply if you leave them unattended.)
I started to type a question about your build but I really got distracted by this image as I was sure I had seen it somewhere before. (I blame Korm.)
But it’s all strangely starting to make sense…
I’m pretty sure my little sister has all the albums from your vinyl days! 
She was deeply into Heavy Metal Boy Bands, you know, back in the day—proper old-hat, “back in the hood” sort of stuff. 
Yet it’s one of the recent crooner styled releases, Pennsylvania Coachclass that has become her all-time favourite album. She is always singing From where you would rather be -you see- & Wish You Were Here?
Anyway—dragging myself back on topic, Korm:
This angle is cinematic. Even with zero bags, zero boxes, and zero suspicious parcels, it still looks cool as anything. Rooster, have you considered doing up the interior and installing a camera in this car?

again, my dear Bill, you filled the role of the blind scout.
in your, how to say, upside down innocence?, you solved the famous Russel enigma…
look, just look at the prominent use of wood, wood of all things, organic wood!, as stabilizing factor in a build of a post-natural age cultist object!
the enigma is solved. our hero in reality is a deeply Victorian person, just trying to survive in a harsh enviroment and evading the dangers emanating from a certain Kentuckian Colonel.
ps: oh, and a little counsel on the side: if you turn the screen around a180 degree, you don’t need to make handstand for talking in the web.
It’s a baggage car dumass! However I was thinking about doing interior on the recent OCS car I am working with.
Nope, no wood in that build other than in my pants when I look at that beautifully crafted streamlined figure. However it is kinda Deco which is Victorian.

So going back to this pic and we have 6 numbered items. Wondering if anyone knows or anyone cares which are scratch built and which are purchased (kitbashed)?
This feels like a trick question 
Door #2 where Carol Merril is now standing and at #4 behind the Monte Hall figurine.

3 , 5 and 6 look the most stock ( or close to it) with probably minor modifications, maybe!
I shall plead ignorance, having never seen the stock kits!
Answer: All of them are scratch built or purchased.
Well it’s a 50/50 split.
2,3,6 are kitbashed
1,4,5 are scratch built
Looks like Wayne was closest. Does he get a cookie or something?
Hey and what about #7?
Wayne was close but he did not define bashed or scratched.
#7 can be found here.
That is me to a “T” close but no cigar…
