My Gosh!!! The engine is stunning. You've done a magnificent job recreating Ross Rowland's 2101. I also enjoyed the brief videos. Painting the handrails certainly made the engine appear more realistic. I have heard that, with early Rail Sounds, the engine's handrails often worked as an antenna. One quick question regarding the aux. tender. This may have been discussed earlier but I don't remember. Was removing its coal load and replacing it with a simulated steel plate ever considered?
Kudos to you sir. I wish I had your patience and modeling skills. Please keep the pictures and videos coming when time permits.

Allegheny, early RailSounds does not require an antenna. TMCC and Legacy do require an antenna and some locomotives do use the hand rails. I like to use the handrails if the receiver (R2LC, etc) is in the loco. J
