    Speaking of the Mogul (below), I forgot to mention that if you own one you can do what I did 2 days ago to add a deckplate REALLY simp! Get a piece of thin ,hard cardboard ( like stuff on backing of blister-packed products ). Cut what would be an elongated stop-sign..I.E. 6 corners but longer sides..I did it in very first try..It'll be about 3/8" wide and about 3/4 " long.. Use tweezers to manuver it between cab and tender and simply place it on flooring from cab to tender ... That's it !! If too wide or long just remove it and snip it more..Corners of course allow it to maybe swivel a tad on curves..I put mine in and it is trouble free...Mine's still white, but of course you can darken it ....looks perfect ! Next an engineer !

    Does your smoke units shoot clouds of smoke and smoking streamers every now and again. My mogul has smoke that comes out one side of the locomotive and puffs a cloud every once and a wile.

    What does this have to do with the thread and my small gift to the community ? Did you make the little cardboard deck plate or not ? You're welcome !
