Western Railroad Discussion > Makes one wonder sometimesDate: 05/04/16 12:37 Makes one wonder sometimes Author: ns2557 Not real sure where this one was done at, but perhaps the paint fumes affected the end results here. CSX SD70MAC 4541 seems to have a slight "Tilt" in it's decal on the long hood. Not real noticeable at first glance, but if ya look, you can see it. Maybe, the fumes from the fresh paint sorta, kinda, altered the one putting this one on. At KCMO on KCS at Knoche Yard April 21 2016. Sometimes even the best guy's have problems. TFL Ben

He would measure a 1x12 from one side, then go to the other end and measure from the opposite side, draw his line and rip it down the middle. He could never figure out why his cuts never came out straight.

Do they make a "bottle " of that, which would work on such a large "model"? :) Ben Date: 05/04/16 17:19 Re: Makes one wonder sometimes Author: TheInstigator Even the porch handrails are not straight!
