Early-Mid 1950s.. like this?http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2261489
I...As it happens, one of my Christmas presents was a Hasegawa "Trytool"- which is a stainless steel etched template set of geometric shapes in sizes that scale out conveniently for N scale. And I think this will make cutting precise square tiny windows for modernized baggage doors a piece of cake.
Can you tell us more about how you did those headlight lenses within tue housing?
The NTRAK club I belong to (and probably many other NTRAK clubs everywhere) have been using the Velcro TM curtain attachment method for decades. My friend (and NTRAK member) also uses it on his layout. It works very well.
whose layout? I'd be interested in more pics. It looks impressive.
You are making me want to work on mine, now. Only real problem with it is the tender wobbles, causing the footboards to contact the railhead occasionally, and the driveshaft connection between the tender and engine is a little short, so sometimes it just pops out and causes it to bind; was just thinking of trying to extend the female part of the driveshaft so that it doesn't do that, assuming it can't be adjusted forward.
