modelmaker87 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Real wood or distressed plastic? I'm guessing wood? You got it in one, Jon. Yes, real wood. Cheers, Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acela Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hi Guys, This image shows the added post on the inside of the corner post plus the second set of hand grabs I made for the car, all four corners. The rectangular plates I fixed with wax rather than regular adhesive. This permits me to move them about if I didn't position them accurately. 26_550463_4054.jpg I broke one of the stirrups earlier on during the build. They suck anyway so I snapped the remaining three off with finger and thumb and nade new ones. This style are unavailable form the usual after parts sources. 27_55043_4074.jpg 28_550463_4079.jpg To attach these to the sill correctly I drill two holes. One into the underside of the sill. 28_550463_4105.jpg And the other into the end of the sill into which I fasten this leg with a rivet per the prototype. 29_550463_4098.jpg This about does it for the added bits and mods to this Athearn blue box. Now its ready for paint. 30_550463_4126.jpg Cheers, Tony Hi Tony, Jim here. I was purusing this forum on an unrelated search and found you here. May I ask; you mentioned (above) using wax to temporarily affix your rectangular plates. What kind of wax do you use? Car wax, mustache wax? See you back on ProtoModeler. Thanks.

trisonic Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Jim, There are a couple of more "build" threads in the Workbench section of USA and Canadian Railroads by Tony. You may not have seen them. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
