Received this for Christmas http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=1199 Photo shows #3796 but model I have is #3798. Found several photos of the real #3798 so I'm now a very happy camper

Next thing to do is go through Walthers catalog looking for detailing parts from Detail Associates and Details West; starting with snowplow, bell, and windshield wipers.

These Microscale decals have some of the small stenciling not on factory paint.

Half the fun with these, for me, is getting a basic model and fixing it up.
