    Its amazing how much detail you can squeeze on to a model these days. Also you guys put a lot of effort into them and still have time to make movies and have fun, crazy. I'm a bit to far away to help repair locos, but dam it would be an honor!
    Edit: fixed spelling errors.

    Hilarious and I thought I was the only model railroader who's also a Star Trek nerd. I love it, "When I'm not sleeping in the front of the office when Jason's not looking" and Roslyn the Borg Queen, love it. 🤣 . You guys are great, with some of the best model railroad models on the planet. Thanks guys for the tour and I really like that rotary phone on Jason's desk, our family had a similar one when I was a kid. If you're ever looking for a new N scale project, how about a GE U28B (with the U25B carbody and slanted low hood) in P&LE paint? Oh yeah, the Southern Pacific, Rock Island and Milwaukee Road had them too, but I think the P&LE's were the first ones built and they looked sweet in the "New Image" paint scheme 😉 Cheers, Rich S.
