[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by BoRockhard</i> <br /><br />Well done. Is that the old school version with brass drivers? Or am I just seeing things. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yep, brass drivers, Metal everything else. I think the kit is 40 or 50 years old. As for where I bought it, it was on Ebay. I picked it up for about $40. I got a 2-8-0 kit as well but havent built it yet. Thanks for all the great comments. Im going to take it to the club tommorow and see how much it will pull. I thought about painting the drivers black, but do you think that would bind up the siderods? <br /> <br />BTW: Im entering this in a modelling contest in an upcoming show along with some Southcross & Western stuff I painted. <br /> <br />Painting: I used modelflex Brunswick green and airbrushed it on the cleaned and primed metal. The brass piping took a little while. I did it all very carefully with a tiny brush. Dont remember what kind of paint it was..... The siderods i painted Ceramcoat grey being careful to avoid bearings but still not show any of the underlying brass. Overall I am very happy with the results. You will be too spacemouse when you get yours running[:D]
