Thanks for that,Dallas. Those are some good ideas. Ill likely incorporate some of that in the cab rebuild I do tonight. Stay tuned for the modifications.... Last edited on Thu Jan 3rd, 2013 06:59 pm by mwiz64

I like the frame enhancement idea too. In fact, I'm thinking of making an entire shell that just slips over actual frame. That way, I can glue everything down to the floor and still have access to the mechanics.
I'm not too worried about it being perfect. Some of those full scale ones above didn't look particularly perfect. That's part of the attraction for me to this type of modeling. I can screw up while I'm learning and still have a finished model that looks reasonably close to something that could have existed in full scale.
FWIW, even though it's not much of a project, I'm enjoying it... a lot.

Well OK...but I love the siderods! You know, the small wheels can be replaced with larger ones. I thought about that for my #6 but left things like they were. Be sure that you include an outrageous muffler/exhaust.

Alright, I think I've incorporated some good ideas from you guys and aside from some cleanup and maybe a little detailing... and of course painting and weathering, it's done. I think it's vastly improved guys. Thanks for the help!

Maybe that exhaust is too big... Ah heck. I'm leavin' it the way it is. Now, I need to go back and revisit my Shed project. I need to build it in 1:35 scale instead of 1:48. I might build a flat car with something on it. Maybe make it a little tank car... Hummmm
The idea here is to have this all come together on a small diorama. Picture it sitting on the tracks next to this shed and that pile of dirt.

Well, after that last post I decided to put together a little tank car outa some junk that I've acquired since I started thinking that model railroading is something I wanted to give a try. It's still a little crude but I think before it's all done it will look pretty good.

I think the story is starting to develop too. The shed has a heater in it. It's actually a small office out at a quarry and the little critter is delivering some heating oil. I'll need to get a hose and a hand pump.
