That prototype picture had me confused at first. I thought the end was a huge radiator, not a window with blinds drawn :)

Edit: Prototype & modelling info here http://www.dcctrain.com/images/conrail9.pdf


That model has many deficient/incorrect properties but it’s an HO model and unnoticed… what I see and build in 1:29th will have many deficient properties as well just more noticeable but it’s all in how the eye travels…mine will be take apart also in typical Rooster fashion …:wink:

No fancy tooling just a model from scratch as I see it…

Wow I didnt know Rooster were so smart :slight_smile: Looking good.

Nice interior detail. You should sell the garage and become an architectural model maker. Big $ in that.

Sure is. Back in the 80's I used to deliver architectural models. Malls, office parks, etc. They were used by developers to lure in the investors. They were always insured around a million dollars, and always a huge PIA to deliver ;) Ralph

Cool. I think you’re having too much fun making all that stuff. :o It has turned out well, and just shows you don’t always need to buy detail parts.

Bringing it to York?

Jon....we had that discussion in the past and this is a hobby for me .........However I'm ready to get out of the automotive repair business real soon the way it's going. These days we fix nothing anymore only throw away faulty "Modules" then load software to the new ones with propertiery rights and encrypted coding like "Banana" then try too fix what the engineers screwed up when manufacturing. Personally I'm tired of it !

Bruce....I don't know I do know I'm bringing Bobby the boxcab and the crew (only to annoy ) Oh....and Utility as well but other than that I don't know cause the car may not be finished by then.

I remember that conversation. Both you and Ric said the best way to kill a hobby interest was to start a business built around it. But you do have the talent needed.

Thank you …:)… The floor plan shows a propane fired stove, grille and deep fryer …all from scraps is what’s it’s all about and I’m not gonna get anal on interior with super detailing !
