New projects on the DAV&P

Here are my latest DAV&P projects. The first one is an older Bachman 4-6-0. It was an ebay basket case. After nearly a complete rebuild, including adding a working front coupler and fire box plumbing and reverse ring head light in the tender. Then I added a real coal load and weathered her. While I had her apart I pre wired her for DCC so when I make the change all I have to do is pull the wire bundle out of the boiler and soder it to the DCC unit. The 2 bobber cabooses Welp there Bobbers all write! Just wundered what you thought of my work and the weathering. On the steamer I was hoping to get that well used and dirty feeling. So I was wondering what you thought of it all. Any ideas or thoughts?

Very nice work Phantom, the loco has a good well used look about it that I find very appealing. I like the caboose, the interior is stunning and the weathering is very effective, but I must say that I've always thought the cupola was far too modern looking for this particular caboose.
