Beautiful G Scale Kitbash by a friend

A modeler contacted me a couple years ago about designing some G Scale parts for him under commission, which I obliged.  His goal was to kitbash an Aristocraft 0-4-0 to model PRR A5 #94 in the RRMPA.



Via Keystone Details, I offered him many parts specifically for that locomotive.  Headlight and Backup housings, cab winterization doors, single cylinder Westinghouse air compressor, brass conduit boiler stanchions, a PRR style smokebox front, brass smokebox steps and stanchions, and some brass steam dome details.

His work is exquisite, even in that scale.

Wow, that’s a ton of improvements over the stock Aristocraft model!  Great work on supplying so many beautiful detail parts.

You don’t happen to still have those marker lights for G-scale still available?  I’d need to take stock of what I need, but I have an A-5, L-1s, and H-6 to build sometime.
