[quote user="SNOWSHOE"] <p>I want this little loco to match with my backwoods rolling stock. <br />[img]http://i30.tinypic.com/2a8pbba.jpg[/img]<br />I ordered the hartland mini series caboose to add to the fleet. Here are a few thoughts.<br />1-do I keep the loco as is.<br />2- Do I sand the cab to produce wood grains and paint the cab the same brown as the rolling stock.<br />(or should I paint it another color and if so what color or colors should I use)<br />4-rebuild a new wooden cab and make it a more realistic looking -this will be a little more invovolved<br />5-For the front I plan on keeping it black but what is the best way to weather it some or should I repaint it black.I plan on taking the cow catcher off and adding a wood bumper. Any other ideas? </p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>1. cab can be made of wood</p><p>2. stright stack it unstead of the dimond stack</p><p>3. bumper front with steps / get cow catcher off</p><p>hmmmmmmmmmmm have to get back with you on it, just my 2¢</p><p>Toad</p>
