Lionel Canadian Pacific "Sherwood Manor" Sleeper #23 is finished.
For a simple passenger car to detail, this car took my entire day. The Sleeper is called a 10-6 by Lionel. It has no room walls in the 10-room section, and the seats are over-sized and dwarf the passengers. The six staterooms are three spaces with only one window per space. Only the people on the Stateroom couch are visible through the windows. The smaller seat is not seen, except at an extreme angle as the train passes.
The Canadian Pacific name plate stripe keeps buckling and loosening. I finally had to run a little Krazy Glue on the edge of an Excel knife under the name strip and press the stripe down.
Here are a few pictures. Four of the seven cars are done. There are two coaches and the station sound dining car to complete.
Have a good evening.
Sincerely, John Rowlen
