Ramblings -

In case anyone else notices that the smokebox front on the Lionel (and MTH, too) scale Challengers just "doesn't look right", as I did, well, you're not wrong - they aren't modeled correctly. (The brass Williams 4-6-6-4's front is correct.) This is my Lionel Clinchfield unit.

So - I bought this smokebox front from Stevenson Preservation Lines - I'm not sure of the original tooling source - Lobaugh? - but I intend to replace the Lionel front with this. I'll add handrails, a number plate and some more-scale-sized class lights - they (and the number boards) won't be lit, which is fine by me.

Still working on the 5 & 10......the windows are taking longer than I thought.....(it gets too blasted hot outside in the afternoon!)

Also, I've been involved in other projects....ballasting our group's yard module.

I hope to finish the windows this weekend.

Peter

Looking good Peter!

Peter, looking superb so far!!!!!! I built two of these , it's much easier to install the window's before you put the building together. What i did was complete the entire front face then assembled the structure.

Beautiful work,

Alex

As usual great photos and work everyone.. Fingers I can live without, maybe. Mind dumps are necessary evils.  So lets get started.  Putnam Division overcomes construction delays but grand opening is still on schedule? CNJ 3676 shows off Pete's ( Putnam Division  )former 1 to 1 scale layout and eats hotdogs at the same time. .  Being from Chicago though nothing says Hotdogs more then Vienna or a visit to Superdawgs  http://superdawg.com/. AGHRMatt still looking for that CNW pot of gold.  AG, theteejmiester , BAR GP7 #63  and  SIRT show there stuff.   J Daddy and BAR GP7 #63  give us a little Rock Island action.  Walt gives us more Christmas memories and Farmer Bill shows us why you don't let him into a gift shop.. falconservice gives a lesson in big and small. Steven Michael gives us is it real or is it Memorex.  This weeks layout wars has had a surprising turn of events.  BANDOBscott.smith, CNJ #1601, MrMuffin'sTrains ( end of an era),  trumptrain, DohertyNJ, MDuppy, TURTLE 2,  Pat Kn ( blast from the past), and leapinlarry  all show off there stuff. But in comes leavingtracks (Alan) and treats them like they are the Russians coming thru the Fulda Gap and piles it on. When that doesn't work he drops a Nuc with the North Shore Electroliner  .  No wonder JayJays CTA 6000 series wound up on the wrong track.  With that being all said, It is a good thing that we now know that Doc ( Putnam Division  also take trains as a form of payment. 

So here's mine contribution. Don't know why I like the picture, Maybe because I am still felling the effects of Alan's exchange.
