Lookin' fine Mike. Can't wait for the feature length film, "Mutt 1, The Brass Bassett".
Well done sir.

Thanks guys. I’m working with my buddy on the art work for the MVL decals in old silver. It’s going to be a bit of time before she is totally done. In the mean time the Mutt is going to be doing a lot of the grunt work on the line.?

Everyone on this list is aware that, in 1985, one of the first brass steam locomotives imported in 1/64th was a Mopac 2-8-0, yes?

What always fascinates me is the similarity steam locos were built on both sides of the Big Ocean. We had some with very close looks to this one. That started in our epoch 1 that started in the 1870ies and ended with the end of WW1 (1918). Thinking about , built in Prussia before WW1. Just the tender has got only three axles, the rest is bloody similar.

German and North American locomotive technology is more similar to each other than either French or British, although I'm not quite sure why that is so.
