Side note - I'm going to get the contract to build him three or four RSC-13's as soon as I can figure out the trucks. You will make a fortune if you figure those out. I'd be tempted to model the 70-80's if the A1A truck was available. I want to try to get a hold of some of the American version of the truck, and modify it to accept the A-1-A's. Then I'm going to try to make cases from styrene. I think it'll work...I think |

Taylor, did you talk with Will Lawrence in Truro? His RSC13 1765 is not a brass model and he did the trucks

Also, the guy I built these 70 tonners for has three RSC-14's. Two are Overland and the third is an Atlas Kato with the correct trucks. I am going to borrow it from him use measurements from the kitbashed trucks for a guide...or at least that's what I'm thinking. I need to get three RSC-14's myself and a total of 6 RS-18's...but it'll be a good 15 years at least before I get my Gaspe layout up and running so I've got lots of time for projects. |

I'm supposedly building models of the engine shop (above) as well as the car shop, station and brass house for a buddy's layout in the next year.
