Actually, you're missing out. The chefs, especially the ones in the

original

Japanese version, actually produce some five star cuisine more often

than not,

and creativity, skill, and knowledge are what gets tested on the show.

If

you're saying you're not up to the challenge, then we all understand.

Chef Ben,

If it was a prototype model, I'd jump right in and suggest a venue as
this sounds like fun ;^) Alas, with the car in question not being much
other than fodder for a "protofreelancer", I'm not gonna waste my time
or effort.

HOWEVER, a suitable prototype car is sitting right here in front of me,
the venerable Athearn Quad. As I understand it, it is perfect for a
number of pre-WWII hoppers, especially the B&M, B&O, C&O, DL&W, Erie,
MEC, M-K-T, MP, etc... And I see it as a definite sow's ear that could
be a silk purse...

So hows about we take this "sows ear" conversion discussion over to the
comatose Virtual Modeler's list and have some fun <VBG>??

Regards
Chef Bruce
