I had a need for a small 8 wheel gondola that would look Ok with 1:20 locos, but didn't want to start handbuilding one just yet. Sooooooo I rewheeled a New Bright gondola and after prying the signboards off the sides I think the final result will work well enough until I can set about building a replacement. <br />[img]http://locomotiveannie.homestead.com/files/NEWBRIGHTGONDOLA.jpg[/img] <br />I am going to paint it and do a little weathering by the way which sould make it harder to guess the gondola's origins. <br /> <br />The other useful trick I thought of today was using turned hardwood cabinetmakers' buttons in combination with either brass or alloy tubing to make such things as steam or sand domes and loco cylinders. I was at the hardware store today buying some small panel pins when my eyes came to rest on these wooden buttons and right away I saw how they could be used :-) <br /> <br />Annie <br />
