Reply to "What's On Your Tinplate Restoration To Do List?"

I've got a pretty long list:

 

-- Repaint a Williams 381E in gloss black. It's been sandblasted and I have all the trim parts, just need time to do the work. Also needs weights - I haven't been able to find any original or repro weights so will have to make some. 

 

-- Partially restore a CMC/CMT 2-4-0T. It needs a thorough cleaning, some paint work, and possibly some rewiring. 

 

-- Reassemble a 380. Motor is partially apart, needs drivers and gears pressed on, plus some minor body work. Also needs some cosmetic work on the passenger cars that go with it. 

 

-- Repaint the roof on a Lionel Classics 514R. 

 

-- Paint and assemble several project cars.

 

-- Locate parts for, repaint, and reassemble a partial McCoy Cascade that I picked up at a train show last year. I think Bob McCoy Jr. may have the parts; I need to call him. 

 

-- Fix up my #8, which needs a coupler and some general cleaning and fixing.

 

-- Build a 10E from parts. I have the parts, just need to paint the body and put it together. 

 

-- Find and install a headlight socket, and clean up and rewire an 0 gauge American Flyer 3013 boxcab. 

 

That is going to keep my busy for a while. And that's just the tinplate list - I've got an 0 gauge list that's at least twice that.
