Hello Paul,Thank you for your reply to my question on using switchers on passenger trains.You bought up another favourite subject of mine,doodlebugs.I kitbashed a couple from the Roundhouse Harriman coach.For M1 I used a combine and cut off the end bulkheads to above the floor and used the inside bulkheads as the cabfront and opened up a window in the side for the engineerand use 1/2 mm evergreen clapboard as radiator shutter on t.I hope you liked my idesahe front ,then cut the roof above the motor area and fiited it with a flat roof with plastic tube for the stacks and details associates captop fans on square tube section and a hole was cut in the floor for a SPUD and a very large heavy steel weight was added to slow the SPUD,it sounds complicated but it worked.I also made a combine/caboose from another Harriman by cutting a section of roof to accommodate an Athearn wide vision cupola near the baggage doors again an interesting looking coach which goes well with a mixed train .I hope you liked my ideas.Regards,Malcolm.
