thanks for the comments.
i've cleaned up the "insides" of the unit and ran it once at my local hobby shop. it seemed ok but it was a little loud as it was running on bare track with nothing underneath. once i'm completely done i'm taking it over to a friend's layout to give it a proper run.
yes, i've done quite a bit of modeling. usually 1/43 scale F1 kits. this is just my first train project. i feel like my success depends on how well i do with the weathering—something i've done very little of. i'm a little apprehensive about it so i'm going to practice on my old HO stuff first.
wish me luck! i'll post the results here either way and try to take some better pics when the model is complete.

Mr. Grumpy,
Excellent job. In answer to your question about the holes on the side. Those were windows and they had glass in them. Often they were plated over with metal and painted, which would make for a dark place to walk but it was cheaper than replacing the glass.
