Thanks. A lot of work went into that scene. I took pics all along the way to make sure it would look right.
My newest scene - Abandoned steamer
- Thread starter jeffrey-wimberl
- Start date
Since you asked... a couple of suggestions 
- board over the windows of the cab, or break the glass
- tie a tarp ove rhte smoke stack - but by now it would probably be pretty ratty looking
- can you make a hole that has rusted through the boiler jacket somewhere?
- open the smoke box door
Having said that it's a great scene overall. As a steam guy it makes me want to :cry:

Good suggestions, but the window glass is long gone, there's a sheet of metal on top of the stack - weighted down with a piece of rail. I thought about opening the smokebox door but there's a big ugly weight inside.sign1
Can't. It makes up most of the frame of the loco and holds the axles in place as well as everything else.Spawn of Chaos said:
