@Paula I am beyond happy with the results!
Funny thing, my brother has "gifting it to me remorse". Seems he didn't realize how well it would come out and how quickly I'd be able to sort it out. Which I am not sure how to take that, as it was his
xmas gift to me this year LOL
I might give it back to him, as this engine was from his old-timer friend that passed away last year (lots of provenance for him). So it surprised me a LOT when I unwrapped it. Though I REALLY like this steamroller, so I don't really want to give it up LOL
