While you were away I received the 6 wheel trucks from Aristo as well as new decals so I got down to work on the 'passenger train' in Winter Valley
I photographed 7210 in Hearst ON back in '78 and took a liking for it's back woodsy style topped off with a caboose type smoke stack. I could never get it done in N scale so here's my BIG chance. That photo is somewhere in my web space so when I find it and make it 'new forum friendly I'll post it here.
I had to interchange the freight door and the freight compartment window and block out two other windows on each side. There was a lot of extra grab irons and guttering to add to the roof as well as two great smoke stacks. Of course I had to cover those sky lights. Don't want to loose what little heat there was in those things. Apart from that it just waits the delivery of some CN grey paint.
No. I didn't make the smoke stacks. There's nothing on the market so I asked fellow Okanagan Garden Railway member Ray Follestad if he could build a pair out of brass. About three hours later he had them done. Both gems. I covered them with SF iron and rust. Sorry Ray. /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/wow.gif
