Conversion on the Aristo C-16 to resemble the restored D&RGW #315 (C-18). Has LGB digital sound.
Nice job looks great
Really looks great Tim! That’s a swell conversion.
Just one thing…please don’t take this as critical…an extended smokebox would really set it off.
Richard,
point taken. One over riding theme with all my modelling is to take a stock item and modify it with the intention of allowing any modeller to replicate similar results. An extended smokebox would be definately desirable, but would, however, complicate the build process as the Aristo smokebox/saddle is a one part moulding. My modelling theme is to generally take the easier route and thus sacrifice authenticity to achieve simplicity in construction.
Looks great Tim
Understood Tim. I mostly do the same thing. 
Anyway it’s a great looking conversion!
Great job!
