Reply to "Rivarossi C-Liner-Start from scratch"

Mario,

Thanks for the kind words, it has many faults!!  I used microscale NYC FA-2 decals but could not use the grey-white  lightning stripes included, they wouldn't lie right no matter what I tried. If anyone on the forum knows how please let me know.  What I did was tape off the loco and shoot it with testors gloss grey and then painstakingly hand stripe it with Microscale HO white stripes(still have some fixing to do there!).  Attached are photos of 6600's frame that is underway.  Note the area's cut out of the Rivarossi frame and the cut sections of MTH frame.  The Rivarossi frame features cut easily with diagonal cutters then sand smooth(yet to be done).  The front MTH cut section is reversed and standard pivot trucks will be used to keep the front fixed coupler as close to track centerline at possible in a curve. The MTH frames fit into the rivarossi frame with a little sanding on the edges.  The trucks are tight to the frame but appear to be OK running around the layout.  If I get a chance in the next couple of days I'll do a sketch with some dimensions on the Rivarossi frame cuts and the MTH frame cuts.
