The next one is more of an exercise in art conservation.

Wow-O-Wow .... that is a classic American 4-4-0 BEAUTY that is going to require a very sympathetic restoration.

I'm thinkin' that you're just the man to tackle that delicate job.

Really looking forward to seeing this restoration thread through!!!

Thanks Stoker. I'll hopefully get it done over the next 6 months but restoration threads aren't my thing--too much extra time involved. I'll be getting professional help on preserving and infilling the paint from an art conservator. The loco has a very interesting history which I will share when it's all finished.
