Athearn frame and chassis. So far, it's a dummy.






Since taking these photos, I've decided to replace the fan tops with etched steel items from C&C. I've fabricated coupler pockets and filled in the rear pilot, to give it a more prototypical look. I also replaced the stanchions with SV items. I just need to weather the new parts to match the old. Enjoy, thanks!

Looks great!

Thanks for the compliments! The steps are Miniatures by Eric items. They are lost-wax brass castings. They aren't too hard to find. They are cast in a very sturdy manner to, so they are durable and usually square and plumb. The only downside-it's pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to drill handrail holes into them. You could, if you had an endless supply of #76 drill bits.
