There is no better man then Bob, he is class act and he choses to handle this how he wants to handle it. I have all the respect in the world for him for that. I have been involved with a few restorations and 5 years is plenty of time to restore a big boy especially having a crew, millions of dollars in a budget, a fully equipped shop etc etc etc...... I have enjoyed watching the 4014 and 844 as well the last few days. However the 4014 was rushed to completion and it shows. I will keep holding the dear leader to the same standards that he has held everyone else to. All the respectable people including close friends of mine the he has trashed privately and Publically since 2011.
