I just finished the third delivery of parts for the locomotive. First let me say that the packaging is fantastic and i like the idea that they always provide the "baker's dozen" for the screws (that can jump without warning). Secondly, the instruction book is very well done. It is not too difficult to follow and all of the parts, so far, have fit into their respective places. Lastly, I cannot rave more about the photos and instruction given by Tomick. Thanks so much for doing what you have done to show just how things go - very very helpful to supplement the instruction book.
I do not intend to paint the loco. black - but leave it as is. I would like some advice about what to use on the brass to eliminate or delay tarnishing. if anyone has a product I would appreciate the name of it. Thats about all. I have no pictures. But things are looking just like everyone else's. best regards to all. Don
