@D500 posted:The detailing looks so nice. Brings to mind that I have yet to address the abbreviated valve gear issue on my detailed Williams J1 (and my "old" Lionel L-3 Mohawk), but I did on my streamlined (with ancient Wms brass add-on pieces and parts) 5344 J1e former "ATSF" Warhorse. Not sure if I have more parts. Wonder if Lionel does? Must check. It does look so much better, though.
And, yes - Legacy Schmegacy. Sounds like a cap or T-shirt to me.
This thing is an old ****-for-leather TMCC Pullmor. Bit of a beast.
I followed suit D, ….I used a 28084 TMCC shell set I picked up at York for mere pennies, and sat that down on a CV Pulmor chassis, ……naturally, I ditched the Pulmor for a Pittman, then borrowed Pete’s rod stretcher program to make roller bearing rods fit the CV chassis, …..still a work in progress, …..I need all the valve train too, …..sadly, Lionel only has a piece here, or a piece there, …….plan is to make this into a Mercury engine ……
