Dear Rob, such a cool and interesting idea to add those girder spans to indicate the underground tracks beneath ‘m. Will be curious to see your idea come to fruition. It won’t surprise me if this little project will further develop into a small cutout where the subterranean tracks will be exposed. Love the trees, fully agree on the ‘not soaking’ with Matte Medium, a more sparse application will indeed help make them trees look better. Although those ones that look fully feathered are of course excellent stand alone items, maybe for a little park or horticultural space. Always wondered about the Superliners. You definitely got me up to speed there. Great set, love the details. Cheerio

Ah yes, The Santa Fe high level cars. It was brilliant of them to come up with that idea. Hand made trees using these methods yields trees that can stand alone and have a commanding presence. Thank you, Rob

I bought the El Capitan set five years ago and sent it to my sis in Carlsbad CA. She brought it back to the UK when they moved after twelve years in the US.

Hi Mark, Thank you, The El Capitan was a great named train and Kato does a fab job of modeling it. It's interesting how your set took a roundabout trip back to you. I have wanted this one since I got the Santa Fe Chief a couple years ago. It runs very well, as I would expect from Kato. cheers, Rob
