Large Scale Central

Just a couple small cabeese projects

Modeling
#1

Eat yer heart out Accucraft[:D] Got these finally off the bench, this was a Buddy L caboose, sans cupola with a new sheet styrene roof. Result? a cheep D&SP Waycar.

yeah Bachmann’s is about the same but hey I only payed about $15 for mine… This started as an LGB Toytrain caboose, all I did was clip the roof eaves off and change the trucks, instant ‘Westside Lumber’ logging caboose![:p]

Now Accucraft sells wonderfull models of both the D&SP Waycar and the Westside logging caboose for the Trust Fund set, well I dont gots a trust fund so I have to make do…so, Accucraft Waycar & Wsetside logging caboose = $250 each, LGB = $40, Buddy L = $15, granted theres a universe of detail in difference, but what the hey, I like mine A-OK [;)]

Well someone took offense to the term ‘over thare’, did my best to ‘clarify’ the description, but I still think its a pretty self-explanitory term. :wink:

Need to think about adding interiors to these, at least the LGB, it has a easily removable top and would make for a nice weekend project.

Vic, I caught that over “there”…:lol: My understanding is that those born with a silver spoon in their mouths just can’t grasp what the rest of us have to go through to model.
