Nachoman's Orphan challenge

[nachoman]

i'm tempted to enter the same project for the third time in a row, the 75% completed hotel and associated landscaping

But seeing as I have been unmotivated to work on it for the last two challenges, I think doing something else may get me more motivated

I have a small brass HOn3 2-4-2 I started maybe 10 years ago. the boiler, cab, tender shell, and tender frame are done. It needs a tender rivet wrapper, a locomotive frame and mechanism. My biggest issue on this one is having the proper tools. I will need to by a small drill press to complete this properly. So, for now this project is out.

I also have an HOn3 ore/hopper car I started about 7 years ago as part of a group of 5 I was building. I got the other 4 completed, but for whatever reason only got a little bit done on the 5th. I think I have all the parts - it's made from cardstock and stripwood - so this should be rather easy. That will bring my total HOn3 ore car roster to 7.

So that is my orphan - on last ore car I never finished. Pictures coming shortly.
