Critics be damned, that's one beautiful little loco. How did you shorten the chassis? What did you use to bond it? Thanks Dan, I shortened the chassis using a razor saw. I basically cut the excess from the middle as to preserve the small tapped holes for the trucks. I reconnected the base using thin styrene and CA. In the end, I needed to bond the chassis to the shell as I couldn't easily find a way to attach them together... as well, the weight took up all available space that might allow for screws. _________________ Michael www.tgauge.ca www.modelrailroader.ca Back to top DanMacK Joined: 04 Sep 2008 Posts: 127 Location: London, Ontario, Canada Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2008 1:19 pm    Post subject: Interesting. I've fiddled with some ideas of how to lengthen the cars as well. I assume the blue cars are your next project? Are you going to lengthen them? I'd suggest epoxy and styrene... _________________ Regards, Dan MacKellar Back to top michael Joined: 05 Sep 2008 Posts: 47 Location: Cambridge, Ontario Canada Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2008 2:01 pm    Post subject: DanMacK wrote: Interesting.

Yup - blue cars are in the works. Have to do some measuring... We'll see. _________________ Michael www.tgauge.ca www.modelrailroader.ca Back to top MT&O Joined: 05 Dec 2008 Posts: 16 Location: Great Falls, Montana Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2008 6:13 am    Post subject: How's your train coming? That diesel is awesome. Don't worry about getting it perfect; your work is what makes it yours! I just got my T-gauge set today from Japan and I'm really pleased. Keep inspiring us.
