By quitting time on Friday we were indeed done. The diminutive train was ready to ship. The detailing was exquisite - all done with the help of our MultiCam.
The number on the side of the cab was my way of signing the piece. I am a second child. The name on the side of the boiler, Janis Lee is that of my wife. I sneak it into as many of our projects as I dare.
It was hard to believe the rusty old relic was made from Precision Board. It was harder to believe it had been accomplished in only a week in our shop with only two people working on the project at any time. The grab rails were made with PVC pipe - everything else was whittled from blocks of HDU on our MultiCam.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
