Progress report: I have begun on the T6 kitbash, and boy are my arms tired! (you all heard bah-dum followed by a cymbal right, to signify that I just told a joke? Oh come on, use some imagination!) Seriously, I didn't realize at first how difficult this would be, in a physical sense. The Arnold S4 has a solid metal casting for its hood, which means in order to make changes I am having to slab off sections of hood where a shell would otherwise have been. Actually, it took me most of the evening just figuring out how to disassemble the unit! But it looks like it can work, although I won't end up with the right louvers and doors along the sides (replacing them would be ENTIRELY too much work). After about 90 minutes of wrist-taxing sawing, I have one of four necessary cuts completed. By this time next weeked I'll have an assembled T6... and a lot of blisters! Also, my C420 is running fine for now, so I'm gonna let that one stew for a bit. Don't know if there is a Micro-Trains pilot conversion kit for this unit, but considering its long heritage, I would bet that there is.
