Another productive evening with New Tracks Modeling playing in the background. They had a good presentation of the Wandering Spruce narrated by Kevin Spady.

She's a runner! Thanks! I coaled the tender and added the build plate. Currently Working on the tender platform for the fireman station.

Figure is Aspen Models and is needing a shovel.

Found some coal down at the Old L&N tipple down the street.

Deck is made from plastic brass and .020 hinge pin. I coated the bottom with JB Weld for texture. Diamond plate seems to be used 1st about 1930. Camelbacks predated depression era I suppose.

Thanks.

Extremely well done.

You've captured the 'feel' of a Camelback, based on all the period photos I've seen.

Howdy Philip, nice work on the apron.  Congrats on the diamond research.  That's good to know.  Have fun, mike

[Philip]

Thank you Mike. I remember adding paint with sand mixed in on military vehicle (M109 crew compartment) decks for traction. The Camelback will be slick steel polished by the Fireman's shovel.

Making figures fit is tough. The Engineer lost his lower extremities. Back to paint shop for touch-up.
