Re: FW&D 7231 Accurail kitbash

Thanks for sharing your fine model.

Thanks Tony. You know - as soon as I posted the photos, I saw the “3” decal on the car end had floated up after I thought I had it in place. Missed that before the clear coat and weathering - so

Some Southern locations I spotted in photos are CR, K, MDN, HE, ALX (likely Alexandria, VA),
