Warbonnet Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Jaw dropping! Korean brass or kit built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 84C Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Warbonnet, Korean brass, wish my skills were that good! but most of the detail castings are available so a good looking model is do-able. My wife does not want me to paint them as she likes the plain brass finish. I have back dated a Bachmann 4-6-0 which is painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really cant wait for it to be painted! Just need to get the correct detail parts for her first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 84C Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Warbonnet, at this moment there is a huge amount of Details West parts from different vendors on US ebay. I hope, I have bought some handbrake wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope, I have bought some handbrake wheels! I need to glaze and light mine. Then there's the conundrum of putting different bogies under it for it to run in an era that interests me more and repowering the thing. Decisions, decisions...
