Homework at the DMRRC. Each member is ask to work on small projects at home. This is my homework. When I finish this project, they will be posting more homework for the members and I will look for my next job.

Will take the car to the DMRRC for a test ride on a 2-rail scale layout. This is a WM. K Walthers Inc kit from the 60’s. Built to N.M.R.A. Standards, 241 E. Eric St. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This information is on the box.

Step 1 • Study the issues.

Step 2 • Used deli dishes, sprayed with Testors Dullcote for the windows and held in place with Scotch Magic Tape, I never use glue on windows.

Step 3 • Used Testors Gold Paint for the windows and replaced most of the window posts.

Step 4 • Added balsa block to keep the car from flexing on curves.

Step 5 • Replaced the side walls with nails.

Step 6 • Used a nail-set to finish off the nails.

Step 7 • Assembled the diaphragms.

Step 8 • Tacked glued the diaphragms to the end of the car.

Step 9 • Took it for a test ride on my 3-rail layout.
