  1. This series is the main reason I keep my subscription. If you’re only going to release one 20-minute video every 3 months, I don’t see how it’s worth it.

  3. Why do I pay to watch model railroad videos when I don’t even have a model railroad and at 76 have no plans to start one. Why? Because they are very Cool, Interesting and a joy to watch. David between you and Jerry it’s worth the price of admission! God Bless!

  4. David, I love this series. If you light the marker lights, would you consider putting interior lighting in the car? Can you put so much work into the interior, that it would be a shame not to be able to see all that work that you did.

  5. Hi David, Try peeling off the blue sided film of your mirror. That is typically the front surface side of the mirror which eliminates the visual gap of the adjoining surface. Be aware though that the surface is easily damaged as it has no protection.

  6. I would appreciate a look in the future about adding lights to brass castings – the same steps could be roughly followed for locomotive headlights and such as well, I believe.
