On the thread addressing the Weaver G5 I posted a comment complimenting the Samhongsa built PRR Williams B6sb and Weaver A5s models imported in both 2 and 3 rail versions.  I also noted their potential for super detailing.  Attached are several photos of an up-detailed Weaver A5s done years ago by my late friend (and PRR modelling mentor) Ray Jury.  Upgrades include.

  • Pilot lowered to correct height
  • Turned new smoke stack
  • Milled out frame under the cab
  • Ash hopper and rear leaf springs
  • Engine/tender deck plate
  • hand grabs around coal bunker
  • Electrical conduits on tender top
  • Rear tender platform

I recently installed a Tsunami2 TSC2200 DCC sound decoder in the boiler (tight fit) and mounted a speaker under the stack.    She runs and sounds as sweet as she looks - I think Ray would be pleased.
