Hey everyone, just felt like Bragging, but my 1948 "City of New Orleans" is complete.....well kinda. In this shot, there is 2 stand in cars, but I have both cars comming, both from Lowell Smith. The NP Baggage is going to be replaced by a Baggage from Lowell, its in the mail now, and the CP coach is a stand in for the Baggage/Dorm, That is also comming from Lowell Smith, I have it on pre ordered, along with one for my NCL, he says they should be here Q4 this year.
Im excited, this is a Gorgeous train, and with how strait forward it was to model, I can believe its not modeled more.

Although the contest is complete, I am still on the lookout for cars as I would like to change The Con-Cor stuff with a little higher quality cars, but to be honest if it doesn't happen, I don't have my feelings hurt. The Con-Cor cars aren't that bad. I'm just excited to have the contest pretty well completed. Now just to wait for my club, Mount Rainier N scalers, to finish our Passenger Terminal so I have somewhere to run it.
EDIT: fixed grammar and spelling. Stupid voice to text is gonna be the death of me someday.
