 Good Morning,well, the day could be worse! It is still sunny, with a temperature zeroing in on 70 F! My spirits received a boost, when the mail man brought my long awaited  loco. Unpacking was done in no time at all - no, I am not curious [:-^]Here is my first impression:The loco arrived safely, without any broken or damaged part. The color of the body matches perfectly the slight "muddy" look of the prototype and need only a very light weathering to be perfect. The chassis and the trucks are molded in a glossy black, and therefore need a little heavier weathering to be fine. Detail of the loco is excellent, with many separately applied parts, like grab irons, windshield wipers, prototype couplers and hoses. There 60 (!) more detail parts I have to add, but of course none of the borings are  fit to size [:(]I also have yet to figure out how to install the snow plows - may need to get advice in a British forum on how to do that.Here are the first pics:<img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020040.jpg?t=1269598538" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020040.jpg?t=1269598538" width="960" height="385"> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020041.jpg?t=1269598461" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020041.jpg?t=1269598461" width="752" height="413"> Ain´t she a beauty? [(-D] Jim and PC - good to have you back! Now I still miss Tom, but I saw him moseying around in other threadsYou all have a good day!...
