Got back my 1668 and prewar Pullmans from getting the E-unit fixed and the passenger cars rewired. So, here’s my prewar varnish posing for the camera…
So impressive that the Batmobile, a GoBot and an Indian chief riding a triceratops have paused to gawk. 
Still to be done: repair the air whistle in the 1668’s tender (I’m told it needs a new relay) and install an air whistle (courtesy of the Train Tender) in the 1688’s tender.
Here they are in action:

The streamliner update continues apace, with parts for the lighting upgrade arriving last week from TT. I’ve also modded a 9090-18 coupler to fit in the factory slot, so the streamliner will, when restored, be compatible with postwar knuckle couplers without requiring any further mods.
Onwards and upwards!
