    I can't help but think the PM-516's are too high...
    I dunno how mugh they are supposed to be, and I just scratchbuilt them. I had no plans, and only a few photos. BTW, those thigs are TINY, no matter how large they look on the engine!

    Anyways, what do you think? I have no recollections of these--are they in proportion? It's not to late to speak up...

    I'm glad you think they look better than I thought they did. How many more?

    Well, I do need to find another SD45. Then I have at least four GP40's And a U33C. If anyone ever does a proper (to the Milw) U25B or U28B. Or?

    :confused: I've no idea. Have never needed to even consider doing such. So have not paid attention to those discussions. Hmmmm. Know any of the smaller parts manufacturers? If you approached them, with a master already done?

    I don't recall the ones I ordered, but I needed 2 sets to get the 36-ERS-6 classification.

    Should be soon though.

    In the past, I have used Walthers #43761. Or better yet, MicroScale 60-789. The latter being much crisper, finer lettering.

    In my galaxy, the evil "UP Borg" was finally overthrown and brought to justice by the fearless "Goat warriors", led by the great one, "Rocky" from the "Big Sky Blue" planet in the "Great Northern" star system and peace was restored thru out the stars and they were able to continue the "Empire Builders" request to have a galaxy for all to share!!:teeth:

    I can handle those trekkies..
    I indeed ordered Microscale decals. I haven't ever used other than Microscale.
