Reconditioning a Akane B&O EM-1....

[EM-1_7600]

Now, for the Tender!

First up:







Paint, decals, under frame broken up coal load, all removed, ready for re-detailing, and refining, with the trucks removed, for paint stripping as well!

Next:



Front of tender cab step, re-attached, was alittle loose, so.... It needed it.

Next:



This shows what was done to the rear end of the tender under frame with added air glad hand, and mounted coupler cut lever.

Next:



This shows the rear of the tender panel. The ladder was loose, and I re-attched it, and added a tail light, that the model never had. The light casting is yet another casting I made myself, a few years ago, to go along with my other detail part that I made. Notice, it is drilled for a tail light directional light bulb, when the painting is all done and all the electronics is in the tender for that that I wish to add, like dual mode sound.

Next:



The tender trucks stripped, and ready for primer, and then a coat of actual color!

MORE to come!
