PENNSY!

Well crap Max, there goes that idea.  Have to re-plan...  thinking... brain exploding...  I need a beer.

[mike_lawyer]

My problem is that I have too many projects in the hopper and not enough time!  I am finishing up these projects in order:

1)  PRR L1 using a GHQ boiler (retrofit with new decoder)
2)  PRR K4 using Kato Chassis (need to finish the tender)
3)  Repair I1 brake shoe casting

Soon my clone army will go out to wreak havoc on the N scale kitbashers!!


I expect the cost to be $100 shipped for the engine and tender casting.  Let me know who is truely interested       superturbine@hotmail.com

   YEAH, tell'em Jason !
Since these are the "De-Skirted" versions, there will also soon be a clone army of the "Skirted" versions of the T1 as well ------------------------------------ 
Decals used for the de-skirted version is "Microscale" #60-810, correct tender Pennsylvania lettering as well as the small Pennsy crest decal to fit on the engines front molded on Pennsy crest. Also enought road numbers for the 5000 series.
The gold stripes at the bottom are easily measured in width and airbrushed on.
As far as the skirted version goes, we'll need to find someone who can make the correct tender decals.

So somebody that makes decals -----------------------------------------------------
"Make Our Day" !

We also may go with this skirted version which also used the same decals as the de-skirted version.

Wow!  That is awesome!  Now we just need to find a chassis.

[delamaize]

I'm still interested of course!

[chicken45]

"Microscale" #60-810?
Those are buff, right? I thought all T1's had gold leaf.

[Chris333]

On the casting. What is on top of the back half of the boiler?  It doesn't match the proto photos.


wow on being able to cast so much detail all in one shot!

[superturbine]

There are mutiple prototypes for the T1.  Pictured above, is what ernie wants to build as a variation.  I will post a pic of this T1 proto later

[Chris333]

I think it is just extreme light shadows. The side view in black looks fine. I'm talking about the streamlining from the sand domes to the cab.

[superturbine]

I see what you are talking about.....I used a 1000 watt bulb to take the pic, its just a wierd shadow.  It looks like a huge casting line but its not there on the grey urethane casting. The first 4 castings have been shipped, i think once people see them in person they will be very happy Es

      The Microscale #60-810 is the only Pennsy decal set that has the name long enough for the T1 tender.
The gold Pennsy Microscale set is #60-677 which the lettering is to small as well as not near long enough.
Other choices are Microscale # 60-39 and #60-67, all also to short of lettering and not long enough either.

     We have pics of the exact one being cast that Jason will post.
As Jason said, theres many variations on the front nose's on the T1's.
