I always though the early WM Geeps that had their noses chopped in the WM shops looked pretty cool:

So I'm at the show last Saturday in Sharpsburg, MD and see this on a table:

- needless to say, it's mine now.

Whoever did the work did a pretty good job I think. Right now it's on a dummy frame (either Athearn or Life-Like/P2K) and will be on the appropriate powered frame at the earliest convenience...

I always enjoy finding someone's long forgotten work and giving it a home in my yard. You know a lot of work went into both of these so they deserve a little respect. You're holding a bit of someone's time and energy in the palm of your hand.
