Gary I misspoke. #478 belongs to Ron Schmidt. I believe Peter's is #468, but the version not in "bumblebee" paint. Ron also built an incredible model of the DRGW 578 caboose. The interior cabnetry, benches, & stove are perfect, and instead of using grooved plywood to simulate the exterior, he nailed individual miniature boards to the scale wooden structure. Even the brake mechanism underneath is complete. It's a remarkable model. Ron is so modest and so talented you really have to see his work!
