finally building layout

[Bigsteel]

heres my kitbashed life-like loco with an airtank on the hood,canvas covering the radiator (for ease of starting on cold oregon nights ) wooden toolbox on back and heavily weathered





this is an old mantua gon,thatg is now used for awdust service.i bent the sides using a very hot lightbulb and then made "patch panels" out of .005 tin that i punched with simulated rivets.the whole thing still needs to be weathered.





and finally a sand house and crane i bought froma guy on the old site.





anyways,i know the pics are horrible,but its all i can do for now,and the way that the economy is going i doubt ill get a new camera for quite sometime.i really dont even know why i post pics.there almost too fuzzy to be worth it.... --josh
