pennsynut posted:Very nice work Elliot. I would have considered doing a splice project if I had 2 450's to work with. Instead, I looked at the PRR drawings online and scratch built one with wood. It's not as nice as yours but it works. I think photos of it are on my "not quite a complete redo . . . " thread. You have good skill sets Elliot. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks Pennsynut! I had accumulated quite a few of the 450's for enterTRAINment at the Mall of America, so that was the easy part, digging them out after a quarter century. As for my skills, I used to build architectural models for a living, and have been doing trains seriously for more than 40 years. You pick things up along the way. I'll go check out your topic.
