Because I can.[:D]
And you DID!
Very elegantly done.
I will say here that the early Rivarossi shell is a model of a phase II, while the later Rivarossi is a phase IIIb.
It so happens that Northern Pacific had both. So I insert my dummy NP phase II with the later ones for a bit of slight variety.
I would almost consider putting the early shell on the later drive. I believe Rivarossi was going to do a new early phase, but…

Thanks!
I did notice some differences in details between the two, so that explains that. I think Kaslo made a detail kit for the older model, so with that, a newer drive, and a new paint job, the older model would look great next to a new one!
