Well for the first time in a couple of years I'm going to be able to set up an area to build some models in!
In preperation for that I'm digging thru boxes long stored to get things out again.
I've found a couple of my scratched items & thought I'd show them off. the first is a tender I built for the partial Arbour Allagaheny kit that I salvaged from a trash bin one day. It had no tender, but I didn't like the tender it carried anyway so I copied a Y6B tender . This was my first effort ( and last after I found out how toxic zylene is) at photo etching. All the rivet detail & panel lines on this are photo etched. All that white gunk on it is NOT solder residue --its dried brass polish that did not really show up -- except for the camera! I think the trucks are Precision Scale. Been a while since I did it.
