A big thank you to you all for your helpishness in my quest. I’m happy to relate that I am now the proud owner, not of one, but TWO fine cabeeses, thanks to your counterparts over here [if such be at all possible ;)]. Not only do I have an extended vision caboose for CN, but a bay window NYC version that already has all the dozens of bits of ironwork painted in yellow - thus saving me the chore of taking it all out and/or masking it to paint. A couple of minor details would need my attention in the general outline thereof, but nothing that I can’t withdeal. they were advertised as second-hand, but have no signs of ever having been on a track.
Furthermore, such was the zeal of the vendor to clinch the deal that I got both for not THAT much more than the price of a single item, which, as you know over here, can be extortionate to say the least, but they arrived within twenty-four hours pf my address confirmation.
As soon as I’ve figured out the correct shade of blue, I’ll be dismantling the car body and getting on with airbrushing the finish, having gotten Stan Cedarleaf on the task of producing the lettering. TBH, he is the very least of my worries - his incredibly short tunrround times are a lesson anybody in a small business, and I really wouldn’t bother even trying to go elsewhere for my decals.
I’ll show it to you when I’m done, and thanks again for all the assistment.
