rbrown7713 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Me either Sean, the kicker will be when I get them painted and if I can install the windows and frames correctly, they are delicate. I am figuring out the floor right now, think I have it. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Floor installed and now on to the trucks and the diaphragms. The car comes apart at the ends and the ends are attached to the roof exposing both the first floor and the top floor for the interiors. Bob.

Sean Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Did you have a not so good piece, to use as a paint test piece? I don't think so your work looks too good ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 I have tested some paints on pieces of plastic and what I have found is that many of the chrome and silver paints don't seem to want to dry. It might be that I don't let them dry long enough, so I will continue testing also on the models until I get the results that I desire. Still don't know yet. Bob.

rbrown7713 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Here are the results of the diaphragms. They will allow close coupling for a more factual look. Now for the trucks and the couplers. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrown7713 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 I will make a transition car. I will just lower the diaphragm on one end of the car as is on an HO model. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrown7713 Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yes Nick, thanks for asking, but everything is fine. Most of the hard work is done on the cars, so not much else to share until paint and will post when that is done. I am working on the outside layout now, weathering the heat and will post when more is done, thanks, Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
