When I was into model cars I always wanted to make real louvers but never did. Now thinking about how to do louvers on locomotives I came across this.
Uh oh. Keep it up Devon and you may find the answers I need for my E5 bash.

Well I was thinking on how to make my GEEP 9 and the SW1200 switcher perfect then I thought no I aint going there.
Speaking of making louvers, at some point in past I was pondering making one of this http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/bcf1.jpg or this http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/sksxZM12.jpg
Now that would be serious louver work
Quite a bit on the LSC forums about louver making already if you search them.

I figured there would be. Large scale lends itself well to it. I came across this technique and figured I’d add it to the mix. Being roughly the same size as model cars many of the techniques can carry across. I never did get into louver making, always wanted too. But I think I will pass here as well
I used a chisel and some thin aluminum printing plate to make this for my 2906.
