    This will be my last build for a while, "the well's gone dry". I just started modifying the shell and ordered Microscale decals. Here are some in progress images from today's work.

    This is going to be a nice project! I have a blue box U33B stashed away in a box somewhere. This makes me want to pull it out and get to work on it.

    Thanks, I am looking at an Alco RS-2 in HO also.I use to see NYC then later Penn Central at the junction my grandfather retired from in 1959 in western MA. There was also a NHRR line that came up from CT and ran through my area so I will also consider doing a NHRR scheme.
