Hi Everyone

This is a follow-on of the help and questions thread that I started to discuss converting the Bachmann CEP to refurbished condition.

Having explored a few options I have decided to explore an etch that would assist in the conversion of windows and a few other things.

I have done some more work on the etch and simplified the design a little. Here is how the windows look now:

And here is the "stepped" sheet. I have also included:

- Headlight

- "Cladding" for the sides of the cab's corridor connector, and a slightly larger surround strip to fit to the cab front

- A representation of the new sides for the guard's compartment

Red represents front half etch.

I am thinking 0.2mm stainless steel, given that it would be the correct colour, and it needs to be thin for the window frames to look right.

I would welcome any comments or things that should be added to the sheet - there is still a little space in the bottom right corner as you can see!

Next step is to send this off to get a quote.
