Wabbit Season......No, Duck Season.......

Elmer Season! ;-)

Meanwhile, back at the shops....

Paint applied, the body and chassis baked for an hour in a 200° oven and preliminary assembly. Fortescue likes the new railings!

Roofwalk cut and fitted.

Old school roofing trick: Apply paint to the roof, then lay tissue on it.

Done right, it looks like a canvas roof. Done wrong, it looks like drunken hillbillies went nuts with tarpaper.

Fortunately, I'm modelling a railroad with a fairly high drunken hillbilly quotient amongst the workforce.

Protip: If you're glazing a car from the inside, masking tape over the window openings helps hold the window material in place while you glue it.

Katrinka hits the high iron with a pair of borrowed trolley poles!

And no "regrettable incidents" this time!

Fortescue approved!
