    Ambroiding along....

    Seems I have more than a few Ambroid cars to do in the queue or at least some are and some surely look to be of that heritage,

    And, most are unfinished or in need of "help"....

    Good play value to be had!

    1st up is a decent looking caboose that needs a bit of help to get finished and then go find a new home,

    Missing some roofwalk parts, some of the end railings, a ladder, and grabs and "stuff"...

          Guys,

          That's the starting point - someone else did a pretty decent job on it so far....and that's how it looks coming out of the stack of project boxes. Not sure why I even have this one at all other than it might have come along for the ride with a bunch of other stuff. Every so often I will with the greatest of foolishness succumb to impulse and buy a lot of 6-12 cars to get 1-3 that I might keep after re-working - I suspect this one to be one of the "others".

          I'm just going to finish it off,

          And then it's going to go find a new home!!!

            Martin,

            Looks like it's in good shape already. The previous builder did a good job.

              In general, yes.

              Some of the old glue is failing, but it's all correctable and adding all the missing stuff should not be a problem.

              I actually see a fair number of partially built cars at the various meets most of the time at very reasonable prices, too. Lots of good stuff on the secondary market!

                  As far as I've gotten and I'm pausing here since someone has spoken up with an interest in taking it off my hands so it's resting quietly in a dark place...now with trucks and couplers under it.

                        A very fine build indeed! I love the old wood kits from Ambroid.

                            Setting the caboose to the side for a while as it may have a new home in the near future (I hope...).

                            Off to the next in line.....

                              Martin,

                              Have you already cleaned up those window and door castings, are were they free of flash from the 'factory'?
