show me more work in progress.
While work has ground to a halt due to other pressures, this is one of my current projects in progress…
How about another work in progress?
Before: A Merchant’s Row 1 I kitbashed into a background structure, here being test fitted before painting
After, part of the finished building visible on the left
Show me another work in progress
Finally getting back to roundhouse after dad’s 5 week delay with broken leg, should be in place this weekend. Show more work in progress.
Here is a work in progress. I’m working on putting an interior and some passengers in a couple of Athearn BB streamlined Vista-Dome cars. The cars are part of my Santa Fe consist. The intention is to give a little life to a sterile train.
How about another work in progress?
Allen, is the interior kit Palace Car Works? How do you like it?
I’m hoping that this weekend will let me make this ‘WiP’ into something unique…
As of now all the add on parts are colored, but still considering the weathering options that will be applied in the next 12 hours…
Hopefully, it may may be a WPF post soon, maybe an -in progresss, or the real deal -later (not this weekend). Not sure Yet…
Please Show Me Another Work In Progress!!!
Waiting for a few more little details and Paint, Gosh these things are so ugly they’re cute!
Show me another unfinished project!
George,
I ordered a couple of Palace Car Co.‘s Streamliner Coach kits, #9607, which fit Concor 72’ dome cars. Since the Athearn Dome cars are 72’ cars I thought it would be a close match.
Although the supplied seating is for the lower level of the coach, the weight, platform dome deck and lavatory portions are adaptable to the Athearn model.
I had to extend the deck about 3/4" beyond the recommended 3-1/2" to clear a couple of interior interferences and accommodate the staircase. Since I don’t intend to finish the lower coach section I used 10 of the 16 supplied seats in the dome section. They are a little to big, but will serve the purpose.
Here is a photo of the progress on one car to date:
The value of the kit to me was the coach seating. Now that I know what to expect I will just order the seating in the future. The bulkheads are .010" styrene. The general layout is available on line from many sources.
To be fair, I think the Palace kit is a practical way to get the basics for conversion of the rather sterile Athearn BB cars.
Model of a modest “Jersey Dutch” house circa 1840. The house is completed and placed on the layout but the farmyard, vegetation, well, and outbuildings await installation. The model’s walls were cast in plaster. The roof, windows, and door were built up with strip wood. The shingles are cut paper.
