Agree. Builder obviously had some skill, but one cannot start crooked and hang enough details to make it look straight. Could be a John Dill creation.

It is a poorly built scratchbuild, using some imported parts. Guarantee it is not even remotely close to Lobaugh quality. I will look again . . .

Yeah. Worse, it has been spray painted gold, so you think the horrible fillets of solder are part of a casting.

But wait: there is more! This one is actually the best of the KTM lot. Pull up his 97 items, skip to about #70, and feast your eyes on some of the most atrocious O scale steamers ever seen in polite company. This one could have been John Dill's work. He was much better at it than were the builders of the others. Yow!
