Although I do have a couple.

Mike Well, it's not a kit per se but rather someone's accumulation of parts that never got assembled and now I'm adding to, subtracting from to make into some sort of workable bobber caboose. It does me little good for the parts to set for another eon in a box for the next O scaler who in all probability would dump on eBay or just toss into the dustbin. I'm going to get my fun now! Ok, and after I'm done building it, then it's a different problem. to solve as I really have no need to keep it unless I am overcome with separation anxiety, Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.

End mill in the variable speed drill press working on resin is so nice!!!

And replaced the plastic wheelsets for nice etal ones......this bobber will need not weight to be added, Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity. Country: USA | Posts: 2159 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 01/25/2019 :  12:51:41 PM     Worked out the sides.....decided to go with the white metal castings. Had to open up the holes a bit with the Dremel and files, but they fit now!

End castings are not flush with the top of the rood casting. Card stock applied to make platform overhand leaving a slot between the card stock and the casting for inserting the wood for the overhang.

Next up is to get a coat of paint or 3 on these and the cupola so I can install the window glazing before buttoning the entire car.

Let me assure you that there have been more than a few that I either pawned off on others, or just salvaged some bits off before their disposal. I try also try pretty hard not to buy anything w/o having a pretty good idea that I can make something acceptable of it.

Black paint on the roof is where I think that the cupola will end up.
