PRR D16sb, Max Gray

Was able to add a fairly hard to come by Max Gray PRR D16sb Class 4-4-0 to my roster. Built by Toby, and only done one time, not the usual KTM builder as other Max Gray models. Of course the 1223 was a common site for many years at Strasburg Railroad and is now stashed away in the museum across the street. The 50+ year old model still looks great. One thing stands out, and in a good way. This thing is hand lettered, and STRIPED! How the heck do people do that. Those lines are straight. The letters are evenly spaced and on a horizontal plane. The stripes on the spokes would be fairly easy to do since its applied to straight spokes. But the circle around the driver tires and pony truck wheel faces? now come on. That's just sick!  😂
