I received William Crooks in pieces as well as having many pieces missing. After what seemed to be a endless supply of plastic putty being applied in coats, the cab with it's missing roof was restored as well as the cab windows made from Plastistruct, a Lionel pilot was applied along with new handrails courtesy of my favorite supplier. I found decals on Ebay. I thought the engine deserved a new look not originally used by Marx. Below is the result. Anyone else out there do something similar in terms of restoration or redecoration? I have not seen any threads\pictures of others handiwork. Any out there?
This comes on the heels of this one below which had to be stripped down to bare metal.
