Just to keep you up dated at this moment in time in regards to my J39 from Bachmann.

 

I have added doors to the tender as they were there in the drawings I've seen. As you can see I have made one set of doors open, hopefully you'll see as you why later.

I have carved the moulded handle off the smoke box door and replaced it with brass wire. This was a little tricky but is it do-able. I have also given the locomotive a steam heating pipe and added the sand pipes too. In all there appears to be little else to do in regards to this model unless someone else can think. I'm also planning to give the model a tarpaulin sheet for wintery seasons.

hi

 

i have 2 Bachmann j39`s and after seeing what you have done to yours , i think ill be doing the same,

it really makes it look a lot better, just need a crew,

it`s one way to hide the wire`s from loco to tender as mine will be fitted with sound next year.

Hi there

 

Yeah, I mean it was a nice model to start off with (mind you the split chassis is a bug bare mind!)

 

But is generally a nice enough model and the detail work is fairly minor in regards to other projects (i.e the Hornby 9F)

 

I would just becarefuly with the smoke box door handle as it has only a slight purcahse of the plastic I created with a drill bit and some non gental handling displaced it which caused some swaering but that should okay now.

 

After looking at some of these pcitures there were some furtyher mods I made which I'm about to blog now.
