Hello folks,
Been away again for sometime and thought I'd share another little project the Sand Hill and Western Shops are procuring for motive power. I was at the local hobby shop, rummaging around thru their junk bins (like any low budget model railroader
) and stumbled across this little beauty.
An old Hobbytown S3 long hood, with the front platform atleast. The whole side facing the camera where the stairs meets the long hood was completely sheered off, and seperate. After a 5 sec glue job, the rebuild has begun.
This is what will hopefully emerge in a few weeks. I am basically building the whole Cab end with styrene and making a standard EMD style cab without windows, as well as going to have to kitbash a new Cab end stair section, and fit to a modified dummy chassis.
Enjoy!

Outstanding build idea, James!
