I thought I would share one of my methods of making parts. I use Bondo to machine patterns. There are several reasons to use this medium. Easy on cutters, fast cuts, mistakes are easily cured, just add more Bondo. I will be adding some details on this pattern, but here is a picture of my rough machined truck. Bob.

Well, I went to my first brass gauge one auction and won this J&M observation car, and what an experience. I was so nervous that I outbid myself., and that is a true story. The auctioneer laughed and said that's ok and didn't hold against me. Then I went to pay for it and looked in my jacket, where I put it because it had so much cash, it wouldn't fit into my jeans pocket, and it wasn't there. I immediately thought that someone had lifted it from my jacket, it scared me and the lady that was taking the payment. Then I checked my pants, and there it was. Wow, what a scare. I am glad that I went, because I met some of the top brass buyers in the world and they took me under there wing and gave me some pointers and I listened. Because of that, I won the observation car. I will use it on my railroad and also use it for dimensions for making more cars, better than a drawing. The auction was amazing, I was surprised at the low prices of the Samhongsa gauge one locos. I still didn't have enough money for one of those, but maybe next time. Bob.
