All,
Now that I have the lettering off, thanks to K and Super Clean, I can start converting my Bachmann single truck Open Trolley to a Connecticut Company Trolley. I am going to re-stripe the car using templates made in Microsoft Visio, the lettering is from Railfonts, Southern Pacific. And it will be detailed with Light Rail Products, retrievers, lights and couplers. I am going to also add a destination board to the dashes, and light it up. This Flickr link shows the progress so far: Stripped car lettering and striping, disassembled dash, and a printed template with a yellow background for test fitting to the car's body and dash panels. A minor amount of re-painting will be done to change the backside of the dash area and the partition following it to deep brown, and the roof to gray. I would also like to fabricate the folding fenders that Conn Co used, but that is alittle more in the future.
