Like the curtain look adds a lot, I didn't have any material but the LGB coaches had transparent curtains printed on the windows so I used highlighters to color them which added color but is was see through, thanks for the share, Bill
Been working on my mason bogie tender and cab while waiting on styrene tube and sheets from plastruct. Got the tender fitted to the cab and both sanded and primed, using aircraft aluminum prime as it was a very fine spray and was sandable + seemed to fill the voids in well. Got the goal old eztec load cut and fitted and covered on top of the original one with real Pennsylvania coal glued on with tile bond III. Added Crip for coal as per drawings I have been working off of. Do think it a little strange that the cage meant to hold the wood in place was also surrounded by sheeting for coal + the fact the engine has a wood burning stack but was coal fired. Must be one of those either or engines. Next on my list will be to paint it with final colors and add detail parts and then on to the chassis. More to follow
Didn't realize that they were buckeye, Alan at Galline has them but they are 1:29 scale and also heavy weight passenger car trucks the heavy weight ones are 5.87" about the same size as aristo-craft and his buckeye ones are only 4.867. I'm looking for small as possible to kit bash a mason bogie with and although the buckeye ones are a good side I don't think the have to correct look to them. I'm not a rivet counter but would like something that is a little closer to the passenger car style. Thanks for the input, Bill.... Is there a web site that you can look at MHT's parts?
