This is one of my unfinished projects, its been a real bugger to do.
I started off staring at a Bachmann 8-40CW in the LHS and they wanted $199.95 NZD for it.
I decided they could keep it with their weird scratched out hood doors and proceeded to hatch a cunning plan.
It's not finished, I'm hoping to embarass myself into finishing it. I'm on my second mechanism - Kato mechs and Atlas shells don't quite fit so I changed to an Atlas mechanism and it fits a lot better. I did a lot of machining on the Kato one so its going to get decoderised.
Say what you think about it, have I got close enough for it to be recognised as an 8-40CW? Did I just waste a year?
cheers
Have at it
Oh the front sits too low which makes the bum go up and there's a small gap behind the cab and the paints a bit weathered on top and the fuel tank nearly hits the rails and I need to finish the handrails - gaaaahhhhh. and the trucks are wrong but they give a clue to what I used.
;D ;D ;D
