    custom built for Alexis Bercq. Technically identical to the ATSF Super Chief I posted earlier this week.

    You do amazing work in Z scale. Are those hand grabs for real?

    Gorgeous looking model! I am not surprised anymore by what you do, but how you keep getting better, the subtle weathering, the crisp numbers and paint...it just seems to get better and better looking all the time.

    The grab irons are etched parts, the handrails bent phosphor bronze wire. A pain to drill the holes for them into the metal body, essentially 1 drill = 1 1/2 holes....

    Yes I can only imagine - I am fairly challenged working with HO handrails. Impressive.
