Hi Madara; It's very nice to see that you apologized. I find that hard to do, even more so if I think I'm right. Good for you!! I don't know if you're young and can't get your hands on some money, or Like a lot of us just have little money left after we pay the bills. Either way, I am willing to buy this loco for you. It is indeed a beautiful looking piece of work! It's not a loco I can use on my route (too bad!!), but if you REALLY NEED it, get in touch. I'm really bad with computers, but with a little help, I've been able to provide a couple of folks with items that I could see they really wanted or needed but could not afford at the time. Now, when this loco becomes available, and you fall in love with it, don't forget to tell us all how great it is!
Due to my own inability to learn how to create or reskin items, I've started to contact folks and ask if they would be interested in doing some commission work for me. I want first class steam era CNR rolling stock and locos. Not easy items to get my hands on! Things are looking up! I've managed to get about one third of the rolling stock I need. The guy who did this really knew his stuff! It was worth every penny and more. I'd tell you who did this great work, but I'm afraid he would be flooded with requests. Also, I'm hoping he will do more work for me in the future. So, I don't want him to be too busy to take on the jobs I would like to have done. (Hee, hee)
I had some CNR steam locos built for me. They were not really what I was hoping for. I contacted a great loco builder and asked if he would be willing to rework one of his great locos for me. He's working on that now. It's looking better than I dreamed it would! He's a really great guy. He even sent me 9 renumbered locos of an old model he did. For free! I could not let him get away with that! I'd tell you his name also, but I'm hoping he will do some commission work on a couple of CNR locos down the road. Hee, hee, how's he gonna have time for me, if he's working on other items!?
I was really lucky to have these two fellas do this for me. I am very grateful they took the time to do this work. Paying for what you want is normal for me. These 2 guys really, really know their stuff. Boy, if I knew how to do this work, and was better than most, I'd like a lot more than what they ask for.
Payware is fine with me!
Cheers.....Rick
