kitbashing, using a old Varney Body

[shaygetz]

The loco need a a skirt made to partially cover and fill in the space below the walkway as Varney shows in it's sales photo of this model.

It looks like provision was made for the skirting...if you look at the casting, just to the front of the cab, it looks like the running boards were cast slightly narrower to provide for a brass skirt piece. That would go along way towards helping you hide the fact that the drive is just a bit short for the shell. Looking forward to your progress
