I finished up the plastic and detailing work on one of 2 USA woodside cabeese to make them more like the D&RGW narrow gauge prototypes. The old post where I started thinking about the rebuild can be found here: Old Post
My biggest worry with these was removing the steps and replacing them with D&RGW style platforms. The big concern was the thickness. And although they did turn out thicker then the prototype, they look pretty good to me. Most of the plastic (styrene) strips and pieces were stock I had on hand. The platform steps are from Ozark Miniatures, and I have Ozark marker lights for these cabeese as well.
Next up is the second caboose, and then comes painting and lettering.
Any questions? Please feel free to ask
