Building and detailing Chicago And Southern No 1

This is a long anticipated project that I have finally started. I recently picked up a Bachmann Big-Hauler 4-6-0 and full set in the very common green AT&SF paint. I am redeatailing and doing a lot of scratchbuilding to this model to represent it’s diesel burning “prototype”. It is already taken apart so I cant put a picture of it here. This is my own made-up railroad but any help to make it more realistic or ideas in general will be appreciated.

My first little project will be the wheels.


I’ll start by filing down the flash that was left on these wheels, then paint them black.
