Valley Flyer going to the Golden Gate
Author: SPED

Heading to the Santa Fe convention in Fresno (raisin capitol of the world)tomorrow so I finished my Valley Flyer just in time. I may enter it in the contest or try to peddle it. This one was a challenge, the paint would not come off, I had to blast it off. No DCC no lights just bare minimum, it does have a nice Cannon can motor though.
Hope to see some of you there.
Ed

Microscale decals, I photo copy the decal sheet and cut out the curves to use as a guide for masking tape. It took a while to figure it out but the lights came on after that it was a piece of cake.
