We also want to hear about YOUR Reading modeling projects!

I have the OMI C-430, Catawissa-II. While the model is nice, the green and cream are way off and the RDG diamond on the cab side is a flat plate. I photographed 5211 in 1970 and the logo was definitely painted on the cab side.
I'll probably sell the OMI model and upgrade to the Bowser.

If things were still made in the USA we wouldn't have these problems.
