Steve K Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I see it won't take first and second radius curves. Is that how the paint got chipped? No, it was done deliberately, as everyone knows that chipped locos are worth more... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted February 10, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2013 Looks nice, but I didn't realise that there are different degrees of unique. “PROFESSIONALLY BUILT AND PAINTED BRASS KIT LOCO - A VERY UNIQUE ENGINE.” Down the road and over the border is the "most unique" souvenir shop in Montana. Now that's very unique! (For those in the UK) A bit like Murray Walker when commentating on F1 with (IIRC) Ferraris first and second: "The car in front is unique, apart from the one following which is identical" or words to that effect!
