Hi everyone. I'm pretty new to the kitbashing/super detailing part of the hobby and I'm looking forward to learning more. For the most part I just work with brass engines and detail parts to create steam and diesel locomotives that ran on Vancouver Island, and BC Rail. My first diesel project that I'm currently working on is a BCR C420 getting done up as the 631.

Welcome to the forum. Working with brass certainly produces great results and requires a different set of skill to what I have. Thankfully brass doesn't melt when you try to strip paint in IPA. Don't ask!!!!!
Looking forward to seeing what you are working on. Nice choice of first project. Love the Alcos. Have Fun. Cheers Steve

Thanks for the warm welcome Steve. I'm not sure how to phrase it, but i really prefer working with brass. Something about not using glue I think.
I'll be posting photos of the C420 when I can. It has come along really well I think, there's only a few things left to do on it before paint.
Cheers, Simon
