Reply to "Coupler Question and Update on McKeen Car Model"

Madison KirkmanOGR Forum Member

I find it a little funny that I am one person who does notice the imperfections of their restoration. As far as I am concerned, they did a great job, I have only found very small differences in what the actual car may have looked like. For instance, the cow catcher most likely had gold striping on it, and I can understand that. Out of a collection of 1500+ photos, it was only mostly visible in 2 photos, one of U.P. #10, and one of my car. There are faint lines visible on one of the photographs of the V&T#22, but you couldn't tell by that one photo that it was gold striping.

All in all, they did an amazing job, and they definitely set the bar for me.
