I don't know why anyone else isn't piping in but I like this version its a little fancy but most of the old real Victorian locomotives had art décor delivered to them on their tenders four corners, sand domes and even on there cabs, so if it were me, id say go with this design CR BT Dispr. came up with. I would like to see the number also up on the sand dome on both sides, but again that may be an out of the ball park proposition and the other item would be to make the D.& R.G. smaller on the cab. But again it all adds cost to the operation. The item in the beginning that I thought was important was the size and spacing of the numbers, they all seem a little squished. So I believe we are on a better track at this moment in time. Thanks to all who have worked on this item and given feedback, it has helped us in where we stand at this point on this issue.

Still a Student,

Dave
