Mark,
A while back I bought a passenger car from you and I thought you should see what I did with it.
Turns out the Hetch Hetchy RR, which I model, needed a larger passenger car to carry workers to and from the Hetch Hetchy dam. So the Sierra RR got a hold of an Ocean Shore passenger car and modified it into a combine. It became HH No. 11 and this is the only known model of it - in the world.
Therefore I have the best model of it in the world!
So to become a world renowned modeler all you have to do is make models that no one else does.
