And with the even nicer weather today I was able to take them outside for a few pics. Just pay no attention to the out of scale house and the almost visible swing set in the background. ![]() Now it's time for windows, coal, and crew..This build is almost complete.

I'll show you what I have added. I scratched a few tools for the firemen from brass wire and sheet stock. These will be added around the tender, now that I have glued down some crushed up anthracite over the foam inserts, that make the basic shape of the coal load. And the creews have been added. E-paw's duff challenge for 2013 - e-paw - 04-20-2013 Here is another pic of a crew member, this time it's the head end brakeman hitching a ride in the cab of 412. I seam to have a smudge in my camera lens. It's a spot that shows in the frame in the bunch of my shots, in the last pic it just above the brakeman's window. Here is a pic of the head end if the two camels. I used Testers clear plastic cement to fill-in the head lights and tender lights.

Just pretend there are "Trees" covering the blank mountain in the background. ![]() They can also be seen working around the round house just south of Easton. Re: E-paw's duff challenge for 2013 - Steamtrains - 04-20-2013 Just too good for words.... You gotta be feeling like a million bucks just about now.... ![]() E-paw's duff challenge for 2013 - e-paw - 04-20-2013 Thanks Steamtrains, I've got a few more shots at the roundhouse.. Here #412 waits for sister # 434 to clear the turntable bridge so that she can take a spin. |
