Hey all, wanted to share a new project I'm starting. I grabbed a Lionel USRA 4-8-2 locomotive recently for a cool project. I'm a huge buff of the New York, Ontario & Western and for years wanted a model of Y-1 4-8-2 #405, which in 1938 was redone with "streamlining" and maroon paint for the lines new "Mountaineer" train. I've already started stripping the paint on the cab, tender shell, and cylinders. The skirting will be brass sheets held on with magnets (tiny magnets will be on the skirting and attach to magnets on the side the locomotive) Stay tuned for updates on this transformation!
