Yet another Skonkworks ugly duckling

My toggle switches arrives, so today was stuff everything in the tender day!

railings and braces done… grate rocker lever and a bit of thin styrene over the coupler are next

Still haven’t quite decided how to stripe the tender - leaning towards two simple yellow wrap around stripes, but want to find some early 1880s B&O pix first

believe it or not, that took me most of the afternoon and evening

Photobucket is squawking because I’m close to my bandwidth limit for the month. So if the older photos go away for a few days, you all will know why. Meanwhile, I decided to start a page for this thing on the Ashpit site. see: http://www.the-ashpit.com/mik/camel.html The backstory needs a little work, and I need to get some ‘in service’ photos as well.

Looks really nice Mik. I managed to build the second portal for my “tunnel” through my front porch railing last night… just as a thunderstorm blew in! who ever heard of a thunder/lightning storm with snow!!!

Keep us updated. Your work is always amazing.
