Re: Project MAN TGX 26.540 Roadtrain
Very nice fab work, and I really like the engine. This is going to be a very sharp MAN when it's finished.

Re: Project MAN TGX 26.540 Roadtrain
Really coming together This get's better and better. You know, when the MAN was released, I wasn't a fan. But after seeing different builds, it grew on me, and maybe someday, i'll have one in my fleet. Keep up the great work.
