I hadn’t used Plano’s products before but it only took an hour or so to apply the photo etched roof walk fron start to finish. It really helps to bring an older model up to standards we see with Exactrail and Tangent. Atlas did a great job on capturing the MP standard lettering and logo too. The prototype covered hoppers were bought in the mid1960s and I am modeling the branch in 1979 so will have to add 15 years of wear and tear at some point.
