    I need to do a test print to make sure things come out just right. I'll submit 2 for print right now. It'll probably be near the end of the month before I get them, and I will evaluate them from there and post images here.

    One last item. I suggest deleting the diaphragm from the end of the car. CN used a different type that is best re-created with an American Limited diaphragm. Fantastic effort on this model - I cannot believe what you have achieved!

    Should I just shave it flat or leave a small rectangular surface?

    I recommend just leaving a flat surface

    The Skytop sleeper and lounge cars are currently being test-built and detailed by a 3rd party so I can get feedback on any changes that need to be made. (photos will be posted when complete) Once I have that extra info, then the models will be made available to the public. They are around $80 each. Currently, the trucks will be sold separately since there are many versions of the trucks. I can make several versions with preferred trucks if you all let me know in advance. Also, the Nystrom trucks are ready to go.

    Since the beginning of March, I have been in the process of moving across the country (2 trips) so all of my time has been focussed on that. My final trip should begin today, followed by a vacation. After that point (end of April) I should have a good grasp on things and be able to get back to design and finalizing products.

    My layout has been fully disassembled and will remain in that state until I find a more permanent residence. Hopefully this will happen by the end of the year.
