Hi,
That engine is going to look better and better. The sideframes are looking nice. How have you mounted the sideframes finaly?

Regards,Chris

Chris, I explain it in details on my blog: http://hedley-junction.blogspot.ca/2016/...art-6.html

I basically epoxied the Atlas metal pickup plate directly behind the sideframe, then I cut and adjusted the spring and brake gear to fit. Tonight I epoxied new pegs to attach the sideframe on the trucks. No rocket science. My goal was to keep Atlas excellent pickups exactly as they are. I like their solder free plugs, makes removal easier.

Kaslo did a great job with the sideframes. I only wish they had gone a step further to make them fully compatible with Atlas gear. But I understand they must keep the product as standard as possible.

The trucks are now getting primed and I hope to paint them tomorrow morning.
