For me, micro-striping is Steve Barile's idea. I would have not thought of working on this thin striping technique if not for Steve Barile. Please keep in mind that this train car shown here should be considered very much a cooperative effort, with much credit going to Steve Barile! Thanks, Steve. I'm sure there is much more work and styling solutions to be found for "micro-striping"! Have fun! later, James Mathis
