A very Clean and wonderfull build of the great lakes special. I wish I still had mine. It is a shame that Sterling went out of buisness they had at one time some very impressive kits of the century. I have their Great Lakes T2 Trainer, Originally designed for U controll but I am going to go ahead and build her for display, A HARDY WELL DONE POPPY. |

Well, if it was, mine remains plain. I am done with striping!!! |
John M Oshust, Comment for image # 21914 | 29 Mar 11 18:04 |
I would bet that the bottom was striped similar to the top giving the audience something to awe at. |
