Only minor goof I did was not thinking of the glue on the little windows. I didn’t realize it was a CA and it fogged them up. I spent time detailing the inside. Lessons learned. I thought about trying to remove the roof and replacing them but was afraid it might break the 3D printed material.

In reply to - KingBradentucky posted an update

Still wanting to fix my roof from leaks but we are in a drought which makes it easy to fix but hard to find leaks even with a hose. Anywho, I want to play with trains not my roof.
