In these two pictures you can see the Pantograph support I had to replace ...it is the lighter colored one... I couldn't find my spares...so I fabricated that out of sprue

Both sets of Pantographs were in top shape...no bends ...no flaws
The engine itself is not bad...but I'm still not thrilled with the paint

Yeah...I actually am Jake.... What I had first thought was donation material...turned out to be a very nice complete set :D ...which in a way...makes me hesitate to change anything else on it
Since you don't have an opinion on the Paint... I might go the route of flipping a coin :haha: :haha: It's difficult when something is nice and ugly at the same time :haha:
