claycts, great tips from all concerned. I have learned more than I have contributed, and that is 100% profit. And, speaking of "prophet," John Allen's Gorre and Daphetid (sp.?) Empire is about as good as it gets (my opinion)! Dave, did you know that J. Allen was a professional photographer as well as a genius at modeling? There may be "short cuts," better materials, improved hi-tech tools but the craft of John Allen "will live forever." It is all the more to his credit that he was able to acheive what he did in the era of the 1940's thru the 50's. How do you like the way he mixed narrow gauge (On3) with standard (turn-outs and all)? Don't know if you are "into" scratch building? A fellow by the name of Richard Wagner (same "era" as J. Allen) wrote the "Book" on passenger car building. Some articles may be found in archived M. R.'s circa the 1950's. Best of luck with your Pike and if no other "words of wisdom" than "be patient" come from these forums, that alone should suffice. Meet you in the Club Car. T.D.K.
