Will post some progress pics sometime tomorrow.
Hope to have a block of bass wood here soon so I can start on the carved caboose(will have it's own thread as it is a different project separate from this one).
Summary of the kitbashed project so far:
1. Repainted box cars replaced trucks and couplers. Qty. 5
2. Used one of 5 stock cars to make a mold of the roof, the original stock cars will get
repainted retrucked and couplers changed.
3. The stock cars based on the roof castings(3 I think that is what I cast) will be painted an
olive greenish color with a brown roof.
4. Next in the line up will be the cabooses(cabeese????)
5. The final step in this project is to find a way to recycle the locos and tendar from this
humble battery op plastic cheesey train set into some nice On30 equipment.
