Here's both a wooden diner that's also a work-in-progress. This old Model Die Casting "Pullman Palace" car was shortened and I added the entry. Many more details to come but, hey — there's already a customer waiting!

Show me more work-in-progress projects you have lined up...

This weathered F2 is at the end of its economic life, and it will be traded in to EMD for a second generation unit.

Work In Progress

Let's stay with 12444's request

"Show me a work in progress. It can be anything on or for a layout, a locomotive a building, a piece of rolling stock, anything. And, if you don't have anything like that, show me a heavily weathered diesel locomotive"

To be fair I had to buy the trucks and Kadees but the body was rescued from going into the clubs rubbish bin, the brake wheels were from the spare parts box and the air reservoirs were made from sprue, cereal box card and left over brass wire.
While not wishing to disparage my fellow modellers can I please see another “Cheapskate” item?

Cheers, the Bear
