Ok I'm finally starting on this. Basic pieces are new version of Proto 2000 with sound H12-44 and atlas H16-44 shell with square windows shell only. You don't need the details parts from atlas. First step is to square sides of Atlas cab, no "wings". Second was to cut Atlas walkway 2'scale on long hood side from cab. Sand and true this. Next step was to remove curved material on h10-44 walkway to make it even with walkway. This takes time,don't rush it. I working on uploading pics, the cattery finally died in mu old camera. [(uses 3.5" floppy and it still works a Sony). I'll use it till it dies] For frame I'm making it out of .080 brass. It will be cut to length and drilled/filed/milled as required. More to follow.

I'm curious to see how you are going to tackle this. I have been considering building an h12-44 using an h10-44 as a starting point. I'm just not sure how far I want to go with it.
Please post pics when you can.
