Just a quick update and not much else to add. I'm still waiting on my second bottle of gray paint to arrive. In the mean time, I drilled the hole in the headlight and did some filing on the eagle I wanted to mount. It may not be exactly like to real McCoy, but its very close. Other than that...I have to wait for the paint to show up.
Stay tuned! More will definitely follow.
P.S. Ift's (see) funny, I've corrected this post 4 times...The Pendleton and Pepsi is kicking in.......
P.S.S. I did make reservations for the wife and I to ride The Holiday Express in Portland Or. on Dec.3rd. It'll be pulled by the SP Daylight Special # 4449 all lite up in Christmas lights. Pictures will follow.
