I build that for my wife last year, it is a really nice model and everything fits nicely. Cutting the antlers is a little fussy but all in all it is worth the effort and makes a really nice display.

Thank you,
My only advise is take care to follow the instructions. I think I lined up the counterweights wrong on mine. The thing that gave me pause was the long square tube that goes from the front of the train (it has an couple of angle points) to just in front of the cab. It has to be bent a little longitudinally to fit, not a big problem just wasn't expecting it.

As I remember, the build was pretty easy and the finished model has striking colors. We proudly display it on a shelf at Christmas.

You should enjoy it and I do not remember it taking very long to build. I managed to complete it with very little experience making card models.

Have fun, you will like the results.

Paul

Some "magnetic pictures" were taken yesterday. They were going to operate her today but it didŽnt work. she was told there would be a bunch of doctors thinking what to do but the last option would be amputation. So, a little bit different christmas eve. what will be done weŽll hear next monday.

Happy Xmas to You All

Sorry to hear of your wife's problems -trust she'll be able to get well without amputation. What a scary thought. In spite of everything wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year. And here's wishing you good news on Monday.
