[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by JohnCarty I know that in this day and age this is sacraligious, but you can build or kitbash what you want. I built an A-A set from AHM/Model Power bodies and had to scrathbuild the frame. A week later the Protos came out. It's not difficult and is fun. Also, you have a unique piece of equipment. [:)] [/quote] At least you finished yours!!! belive me, I had the chassis made, with athearn PA truck on the rear, c-liner side frames for the front, the bodies striped of cast on rivits and grabs, and as soon as I was ready to paint, out come those perfect models! building the 5 axle c-liner would not be difficult with the parts from existing life like models, I just thought it would be nice and easy for them to do it! being a Fairbanks Morse nut, I've suffered through the "dark ages". When Athearn came out with the Trainmaster, I did quite a bit of kit bashing. Nowadays, we have it so good!! thanks for all your replies David Wallace David Wallace
