While taking a break from building the slug engine ( just needs painted and new handrails cut, so it's about 95% complete ), I decided to start on the Conrail Shop Switcher #0. I've spent about 3 hours cutting, gluing, and painting a little bit to get it where it is right now. The first hard part was cutting the the little sloped pieces for on the sides up at the front. I did manage to get all the pieces cut out that is needed for the back of the Switcher before gluing the front on. The second hardest part was gluing the pieces underneath the piece of polystyrene between the underside and truck. I know some would have glued them on first then glued the entire thing on but why make it easy. 
Anyways below is pictures of the progress made. Oh I am also including a picture of "inside" the shop complex where you can see #3091 sitting along with one critter and the truck of another one that is going to be built. I am planning on building 2 shop switchers. One for each end of the layout or maybe one in the middle and end. Who knows, not even me
