I just finished assembling an OROPS for my 651A blackrat. These were built by a very good friend, then shipped to the east coast, then shipped north, home of a Master Caster and Scatch Builder, he cast them then they returned via the post office along the same route. All I did was assemble, the real artwork is courtsey of the excellent builder that came up with them. I did take some photos of JTL's old western contracting machines when they were auctioned here in Denver. Thanks to all for assistance with the project. These were the machines that I remember from my kiddo sidewalk superintendent days, only the scrapers were 631B and 641A machines used by a local contractor, whom I now work for, I commissioned the D9G from RR models after the toy show in holland a few years back. Enjoy.

Stunning work Graham! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of BlackRat not too long ago, a true gentleman! Both pieces are real gems!
