The excellent work that others on the Forum are doing encourages me to keep moving forward.
Here are a few pictures of the Santa Fe Dining Car scratch build under construction. I like my refrigerator with the staple handles. The Grill Hood took forever for the Krazy Glue to start to dry. There are no O-gauge cooks made by Preiser, so I have reworked and painted other figures. I had to grind a quarter inch off the cook. He is now shorter. He is a "Short order cook".
The opposite counter under the three kitchen windows will have two sinks in it. I hope to use staples to create facets and handles.
Until tomorrow, John Rowlen
The detail work you are doing on the car interiors is really great. I would love to be able to do that on my cars but eyes no good enough these days. Great job. It really enhances the model.
