Boxcab aka the Bobbercab, ala the Aaron Loyet method
After reading Aarons thread on LSC I did a quick survey and to my surprise I had both a spare Bobber body and the Aristo drive brick.
The brick was on a model bash that just didn’t work out at all so it got scrapped, I did reuse the base chassis.
Not too bad, luckily I was able to find doors for the sides, that’s a Piko window w/ screen mesh as radiator, basswood pilots, next up filling the cupola gap.
More to come
Almost done: Test run on the pizza for clearances: A-OK
Still need headlights
Next, paint shop.
Out of the paint shop, ready for decals, the dark patches are glossy paint where the decals will go.
Think there was a tad too much ink in this batch of inkwash
Two coats Matte Medium and a dusting of dust I think its about as done as its going to get. [swg]
Nothing better then a new well worn loco.

I was joking that in the course of about 2 hours it went from model home to condemned hovel.[:P]
where do you get your decals do you make them on the computer or buy them
Ed
I got decals years ago by a guy who no longer does them. Search Google “Stan Cederleaf” he does custom decals for large scale.
Ok thanks i was thinking of trying transfers on the computer but havent done a whole bunch of reserch yet
thanx again
Ed
I have really enjoyed your work over the years. I would luv to see a pic of all your creations together. I bet a wide angle lens would be neccesary.
