Hey Guys and Girls, I am thinking about buying an accucraft ruby and customizing it. I was curious if anyone had any ideas. All comments appreciated. Thanks, Brittany

Check out the Live Steam Class for plenty of ideas and prototype photos for bashing a Ruby.

First you have to decide if you want to merely make cosmetic changes like I did with a few brass parts or if you want to significantly modify the Ruby into another configuration like Larry (Redbeard) did. In either case, plenty of help is available. http://www.mylargescale.com/Community/Forums/tabid/56/forumid/11/postid/189/view/topic/Default.aspx

Ya could always make it of a British type. Paint is curing on this one in anticipitation of doing the orange & black lining.
