Hi Ben,
The artwork was done by a friend of ours. Originally it was a CN reefer in grey. She painted the entire car for me with four different scenes. Two on one side and two on the other. The pic is not that clear but the entire car sparkles in the sunlight. BEAUTIFUL work. It is great having artist friends!!! I had no idea what she was going to do. I told her I wanted it to reflect Christmas in a simple way, reminiscent of days gone by. She got it bang on. [tup] Merry Christmas everyone!!! Later eh...Brian. [:D]

Well done Brian but surely you could put ina tropical scene for your mates in Australia, after all we did have a cold Xmas day (for us) this year only 31 degrees, it was 36 last year. So the snow bit is not all that applicable to us, with our jaundiced and upside down view of the world

Well Done , Ian

Hi Ian,
This is the first piece of rolling stock for my Christmas Train. Each year will see an addition. A tropical scene??? Why Not! Just need a couple of G Scale Roos for a flat car scene and away we go. Rgds eh...Brian.

Brian, that car is really neat. Very classy and definately right for your part of the world (lots of snow!) I admire folks who have that kind of artistic talent.

Cool car!

Perhaps you need to have her paint the Australian scene upside down?
