Looks wonderful!
I was wondering,...
In your second picture above, it looks like you have the BLW OCS cars but also the Fort Wayne Historical Society's support car? Is that something you can share? I have all the BLW OCS cars but not the Fort Wayne 701.
For those not familiar with what I'm talking about...

FWRHX no. 701 – Steam Support Vehicle
Built by the St. Louis Car Company for the US Army in 1953 as a kitchen car, it was stored for over twenty years before being acquired by the Kentucky Railroad Museum and used as a concession car. In 1979, it was utilized on the 765’s first excursions to Argos, Indiana in July, 1980. It has been converted into a tool car for use on excursions with the 765. Changes include a generator, workbenches, tool cabinets, welder, steam locomotive servicing equipment and supplies, and some seating. (source: FWHS )
Finally, are you planning to build the extra tender that 765 often uses for excursions?
Thank you.

I already have the AUX tender built for 765 and plan on doing the same with 1225 along with building the tool cars too

Here is a shot of the 765 with the water tender. The 2009 version of 765 and I thought just for fun I would do the 759 as well.

Thanks Ryan. Also as a bonus I have decided to add the C&O 2765 in the pack as well. I may decide to release all of the models without sounds as it will take me awhile to get those done.
