Hello Folks!

Yes Dave, you are right. Several years ago i posted in the trainbord forum. But sadly enough the picture hoster collapsed and nearly all the pictures went into the great electronic nirwana.
This will be an completely new written thread with completely new uploaded photos on another hoster from which I hope the pictures will stay there.


The cast on sanding lines were removed by grinding and sanding.
And you see the shell is sitting now complete horizontal on the chassis.


From this angle you see the hollow bottomless cab with no boiler backhead.


Here I started to add more detailing to the frame. This are simply styrene strips, cut from sheet material and glued to the frame to match a more prototypical look.


In one of my scrap boxes i found a pair of leaf springs. I glued them to the sides of the gearbox to camouflage the relatively massive gearbox.

On test runs the original motor and gears worked well, especially on DCC, so I left it unchanged.
