Jim,Although I'm conservative, by nature, I really like colorful Piets! I say,"Be bold! Let the paint reflect your out-going personality!" But the frugal side says you have to go with what's in the cupboard (wonderhow that orange marking paint and Golden Oak stain will look....?)Gary Boothe Cool, Ca.

I bought a sheet of oakume large enough to do my leading edge with lots left over from a boat supply place on Long Island. It was very cheap=2C and they pre-cut the strips for me. Shipping was negligible. I will dig out the receipt and give you a name and number in the next day or two. it was so cheap=2C I cannot imagine why anyone would hesitate.GeneDate: Sun=2C 5 Sep 2010 09:59:43 -0700

No! no! no! Go get yourself some British Railroad Engine Green andpaint your engine with that. Then get some BRE yellow and pinstripethe thing. Oh, and all those accessories? Powder coat brass! :-)Of course, if you do that then you have to have a train horn.I don't think you should chop the blue off at the seat though.
