Western Union train in Sn3

The western union train is one that I have wanted for a long time. The cars are Cimarron Works kits There are three Pullman Tourist Sleeping Cars and three box's and a flat from the Colorado& Northwestern Railroad. The lettering is based on the photos of car 302 taken in 1948. From that Dan Peterson of San Juan Decals and I worked up the rest of the lettering. Not a bad looking train.  Bill did all the model building, modifications, painting and decal work.
