Another classic, John.....saw the Chattanooga Choo Choo race here before the fire....really cool and really sad.  I haven't done my General model yet, but want to do it like the ravaged picture shown.....members of the Andrews Raiders are buried here surrounding a monument of the train at the National Cemetary....fascinating slice of history....great work as always on your bench.

John.... the progress on this is just awesome. Keep up the steller work. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in that brain of yours for these awesome model ideas. Then again I really don't want to know what goes on in your brain... :lol::lol:
