While the glosscote was curing I turned my attention to the second frame/drive. I managed to find a really cheap athearn SW-7.

That just happened to have the newer trucks with the plastic sideframes. I did a quick switch of the trucks so I can track down a second set of Alco Blunt sideframes and both of my S-2's will have the correct trucks.

After I added the trucks I set to silicon the motor into the shell when I discovered the I had forgotten to cement the universals and flywheels to the motor shafts. with that near disaster adverted I cemented everything in place this afternoon.
As a side note does anyone want an Athearn SW-7 in and early Canadian Pacific Maroon scheme? Even thought it's got the older trucks it still runs fine (a bit noisy at higher speeds). The motor has been hard-wired in and a new light was placed into the shell. Also it has the gold motor
