Greg.....

You said that often you had parts left over................... did it work when you got it back together ? ? ?

If yes then the thing had too many parts to start with.

Bob.....the simple answer is an embarrassed "I don't know".  :-[

I did it over 35 years ago an I think it kind of sputtered for a foot or so and died. It is still in pieces in a box somewhere.

Karl,

Thank you, I appreciate you looking in on the thread.

Over the years I've learned a few tricks to getting the decals to lay flat and appear to be painted on.

I've added a few more details and now all is ready for the TCS WOW install.

The front air hose has been painted and marker jewels were also installed.



Cab windows were installed using clear Mylar/Acetate, cab crew were install and cab curtains were added.

After the sound is installed, I'll weather the loco and post photos at that time.

The judge built this  Silver Streak B&O caboose some 40+ years ago. This caboose is now assigned to the E27. Note the little separation between the end and side walls?This was common after several years on Silver Streak models. Looks pretty dang good for a very old model.

The Judge has requested that my next brass painting be the C&O H-5 2-6-6-2.

I'll be doing a separate thread for this one.

Thanks for the instruction and inspiration, Tom.
Working on my second million. I gave up on the first.

This is one of my favorite locos.  The H-5 was of USRA design and had drivers a little larger than the more famous H-6, the last of which is in the B&O Museum in Baltimore.  This old hog could really pull those coal hoppers up and down the mountains.  The painted, finished model ought to be an outstanding addition to the A&S as another example of a Central Florida railroad leasing needed steam power to lug heavy trains up the Ovalix.  Four miles an hour, five miles an hour, who cares!  Greg will have to keep his hands off of this one!
