Weekend Photo Phun
Posted by Darth Santa Fe on Friday, March 16, 2007 1:10 PM

To start this week's Weekend Photo Fun are a couple of my recent projects.Big Smile

First are some pictures of my almost finished Bowser K-11 4-6-2.Big Smile


Engine and tender

Back of the tender

I decided not to get the super-detail kit for this one, because most of the detail was already cast on, and the detail kit has few parts for what you pay. I also already had an extra turbo generator, which I glued on near the cab. I also added a couple steps in front of the cylinders. All the engine needs now is some Dull Cote and it will be done.Big Smile

My other project was remotoring an Athearn RDC, after the gold motor I had in there died.


I used an old open-frame motor I got for a few dollars from the junk drawers of Hobbyland. I also put in tighter rubber bands and about 6 oz. of weight in the front, so it actually pulls pretty well now.Big Smile The motor was in new condition when I bought it, so I expect my RDC to run for a long time now.Big Smile

Oops, it looks like someone started another Photo Fun right before me.
