I almost picked up another one of these cars on Sat. while at the O scale meet in Indianapolis, but I managed to resist - real decider was a lack of decals.....although, I guess making something "creative" is not out of the realm of possibilities.......

Ok, this is done or as close to done to suit me...
Off to the next couple of quick projects.....minor touch-ups and small details to add sort of stuff. Got one of those Lionel Gla hoppers to convert and also re-letter for CVRR. Wondering about removing that paint - seems to be significant- you can feel the ridge/edge of it. I've read the EZ Lift-off with a Magic Eraser will work. We'll see.
Got an older Gloor Craft caboose to finish out - bits missing and details to add. Should be a good therapeutic exercise....

Yes, that would get you down to the car bolsters, but it really should be a bit deeper than that......but maybe "good enough" for most folks. Not sure I have a steady enough hand for that even.quote:

You could carefully clamp this in a vise and "saw out" that gap with a hacksaw or even a backsaw.

Not sure of what the intent was - no real info on that with the resin body. I've seen that done, but it seems very unsatisfying to me. If you don't have access to a shop with a mill, I guess you're on your own then...or trying to do it with your Dremel drill press or whatever else you might have on hand.quote:
What were you supposed to do about the brake gear with a solid center sill? Just sort of fake it?

Martin,
I like all that detail.
If I nderstand correctly, you had to make a slot in the center sill to hollow it out. What were you supposed to do about the brake gear with a solid center sill? Just sort of fake it?
