This wont be done for awhile! I am actually planning on releasing this as a mega pack of the S3 Class 4-8-4s along as a separate Excursion Version of just the 261 in the different variations that we have had it in over the years. When its done I really hope its top notch and everyone enjoys it. I will also have custom sounds from the real 261 to go with the model as well. I am also thinking about making a custom cab view unless someone on here would be willing to help me out with that? I can give you photos of the real cab as I have many if anyone is willing to make one to go with the model. I will give credit as well if someone would like to help with that.

Brandon,
She is a beauty -- looking very, very nice! Great work. Looking forward to seeing her run on my system.
Thanks for all your efforts and sharing your talents with us.

...An Ode, re my affliction...

A modeller's work seems never done,
As he irons out bugs, one by one,
The clock tics over the midnight hour,
He glances up, with a glower,
And mutters, "Remind me; this is fun?"

Bazza.

Edited.

Hence the old saying, "Stayed up, burning the midnight oil."

Here is a couple of update photos of the model. This model is what the MILW 261 currently looks like in its current state of 2016. If your curious what the white balls are under the running boards those are lights that the crew has added in the last rebuild for easier servicing at night and low lit areas.
