Re: Euclid R18
That just looks like a boat that's tied up in the harbour here in Comox. Are you sure you didn't take that picture here. Yours sure is a fine looking model.

Question
Does anyone know what happened to Big Blue Rod. He closed his E Bay store and started Semi Scale Parts. I signed up and then he has sort of disappeared.

Re: Steamer
