ALCO from ALCO or another 0-8-0

Don't worry, she survived the operation:

Wayne,
nice to see how an 1960's Brass USRA Santa Fe is turned into an Canadian Style loco.


That's another example of Terror Sawing:



Note extra thick bottom created by Bachmann so that you can never-never install a speaker for sound. But there will be still Extreme Terror Drilling :mrgreen:


Meanwhile, here in Middle Europe is a never ending month of April in sight of weather terms oder April-Summer, was time to give the 0-8-0 a more complete look:








Decals are Microscale singular letters and cyphers. I did several coatings on Mocro-Sol until the decals were plain. Then coated with Micro-Flat.

Still something to do like a load of coal in the bunker and crew.

Now this brass 0-8-0 out of the 1970's has become an intregal part of my rolling stock.

Great-looking results, Lutz.

I'm a fan of short tenders, too, as my towns are pretty close to one another.

These locos all have shortened "short" USRA tenders:

To complete and to finish this thread:


This is Woodland coal piled up in the bunker and glued with white chaulk.


Ready to switch everything she can handle.


A crew was added, mixed from Woodland, La Belle and Kato loco staff.


Since the crew was placed and the windows were glazed, i miss the missing cab interior not so much.
Still waiting fpr PSC parts...

Thank you for watching.

Gotta love those 0-8-0's...!!

Ive got two of them, a P-2000 and a brass version. I think I'll try converting the brass one to DCC so I can run it more often...
