Well Dave was right although I didn’t realize it myselfe at the time. Daniel and I made a trade, Scale craft K4 and some cars for the Erector Hudson. This forum really is great. Neither of us mentioned $$ once. It was simple, Daniel saw my interest in it and offered it up. I remembered he had mentioned he’d like to find a Scalecraft K4 and so I offered one back and the deal was done simple as that. Here it is after I opened it up. It’s a big project to be sure, but man is it cool. 😁 we new it was missing a few parts, a big one is the firebox wrapper but I think I can make one from brass or sheet metal for now. I may start a thread for this since I’ve never seen one on here as well. Couldn’t happen without Daniel’s generosity, I hope we can meet some day face to face. I promiss I’ll get the K4 in shape and over to you as quickly as I can.
