What some might consider an abomination, an O-gauge Stephen Girard set:

A West Virginia friend had sent me a Lionel 248 that someone had nicely tarted up in SG colors. While it looked good dragging a string of the eight-wheel 607/608 coaches in factory SG, I wanted a pair of 629/630 four-wheelers for it. Finally found a pair of bodies at a local meet that someone had stripped to bare metal. Unfortunately they'd soldered in the window inserts, so repaint was done by careful masking (used Wood rattle-cans, SG slightly off from the loco). A few peel-n-stick decals and we had the baby set. Runs great, always gets a few laughs while tearing around the layout.
