Great job on the cabbage! Not normally an Amtrak fan, let alone their latest scheme, but looks awesome!

Very nice. I prefer to older schemes on them but it's still an awesome build.

Nice job on the Cabbage Car! Frog tape seems to do nice lines. May I ask how you covered the middle part of the long hood? It doesn't look like styrene in the first picture. Thanks!

Walthers included a non-dynomatic insert with their undecorated units. The engine room vent was patched with styrene. And thanks!

I take that back-if you're talking about the roll-up doors (I might have read the question wrong), that's actually just the cast-metal frame in the first picture. I just used patterned styrene for the door. My bad!

P40B... what a great idea! Very plausible and looks great. Thanks for sharing.

I just used patterned styrene for the door. My bad! Dave- Nope, you answered what I asked about the non-dynamic brake insert. Thanks so much. Last question: what did you source the small doors from that have the 'F' portholes? Thanks. Paul |

Those are just .010" styrene with fine wire stamped out for the door handles. I used a stepped drill (also helpful when installing Cannon fans) to make the portholes, and just eyeballed the basic placement and dimensions. Thanks!
