It comes in both inside and outside frame. I would prefer the outside frame but since I forgot to tell my parents that in the Christmas list I have started to look at the inside frame version. When I looked at the photo I couldn't help but remember a photo of B&SR #6 The Bachmann model could be made to look just like the #6 with what looks like few modifications. Tell me what you think.

Joe Fox replied:That is a wonderful looking model. Do you think it could possibly be W, W, & F #7?

sgprailfan replied:I thought of this one too. I thought I would rather model ww&f #7 witch would require the other type of frame.
ETSRRCo replied:You mean this style?
This would need much heavier modifications to look like the 7.
It could be done. The drawing is my own.
