Hey Driver, :)

If your first pic was in a modelled environment you'd hardly be able to tell your loco wasn't real! The tools on the tender are a nice touch. :)

Thanks Tooter! I was thinkin the samething after I saw it on my computer! I work on and run real steamers (3 truck shay #12 and #346) at our museum and it bugs the hell out of me when I look at a model and its not close to the real deal! I also have a set of AMS passenger cars that I will start bashin today.
 
Well I started with my first car....and as it sits now shes about half done....I started with a nice tall glass of ice tea and then worked my way to the trucks. I then moved my way up....please remember these are beginning stages.

all feedback welcomed! good or bad.
 
Well the time has come again for some more bashing! I will be bashing my K-27 into a K-28, number 473. Im not looking to do a perfect model of the prototype, but she will be close! I already have the drivers apart and almost ready to bash them into shape! I got a couple questions tho.....

what would be a good way to inlarge the boiler/smoke box and any thoughts on the tender and cab?
 
Really nice, good job.
It's not hard I guess for you to get Proto pic's and measurements then, hahaha!
 
I wished I lived closer to durango so I could roll down there to the real prototype to take measurements.....but 8 hours one way is to long for me lol
