Diffidently glad I kept it. Now I just have to pay off the Otto. :slight_smile:

That’s looking great so far!

Getting close to being done. I got everything painted and put back together and details added. Before putting everything back together I did a test run and too my surprise it worked…

Jay Kovac found a diamond stack for me at Diamond head steam up and im still waiting on my head lamp to arrive from track side. I bought some of that neolube from micromark that I plan on using for the wheels and drive rods. I also have to make the roof. Then everything will get weathered.

The pictures were not coming out good today. It looks a lot better in person

Not half bad

Where do the rivets go?

Ya dun good…:wink:

Getting closer now. I added the roof, painted the side rods using neolube (great stuff). A few more details were added pilot steps in front and back. I ordered a headlight so I’m just waiting for it to come in and Jason is going to make a diamond stack using two of the Trackside Detail diamond stacks for me. I made a wood load for the back just waiting for it to dry and then it will get weathered lightly.

Very Nice job Shawn. I love it. what a difference.

WOW!

I could use a couple of those on my railroad.

Nice, real nice.

Nice work Shawn. I lost track of this build with the contest threads that were going on. Great conversion and a drastic difference in the outcome. I like the balloon stack.

Very Nice!

It’s almost as cute as the lady bug flower pot and the butterfly wallpaper.

:wink:
