Canadian Pacific 2-8-0 Kitbash

Last shots before Christmas...

I resized the tender frame. The operation was straightforward, but I must admit I used CAD to decided where I would make the cuts. Some putty will be needed to completely hide the scars. Then, I'll work on the serious things: making the coal bunker and add details.

The original underframe with the kitbashed tender (I also removed a lot of things from the shell, including the fireman platform). I want to keep the same weight and their screw-mounted plastic pin.




The tender shell is ready to be redetailled.



Underframe ends in place, only need to resize the middle part.




Completed underframe:




Testing how everything works together. As pointed out by Russ, the cab will need a little grinding to accommodate the tender.




Merry Christmas everybody!
