Building a small fleet of very small cabooses

[P5se Camelback]

Progress ... at a snail's pace. Some of this stuff takes time - lots of time to do each operation seven times. This photo shows the fleet of "Cute Little Crummies" lined up for their daily mods. Most have had their roof walks removed (parts for new free-standing roof walks have been cut from stock or fabricated, as the case may be, and reside in a clear plastic box behind the L&NE coffee cup.) All have had cast on grabs and rails removed. One has had roof grabs fitted for dimension notation (so I can put them all in the same locations, along with the NBW casting.) A couple have had the major hole in the end platform, left by a cammed slide in the mold, filled with evergreen styrene stock (a pain in the bum kind of job - I can only make myself do one a night.) The mounting holes for the 10" diameter end railings that were originally installed have been plugged with evergreen styrene rod with some toluol - makes for a nice tight fit.

Yeah, and all that stuff is on my breakfast table!

I tried to resize this and make it a bit smaller - those first ones were HUGE! Eventually, I'll figure it out.
