Tell ya what Bear, when you get brave enough to start weathering your rolling stock then so will I.Cowboy

Here are a couple of shots of my McKeen motor car cab interior as it sits so far. I sent an e-mail to the McKeen Motor Car Company Historical Society asking for any pictures they might have of the cab interior. The President of the society, Madison Kirkman, sent me several very informative pictures, some of which I had not seen before. I had most of the details installed before I got Madison's reply. Much of the bits I installed are reasonably close enough to the real thing but there are some details that I can improve upon.

The prototype cab details are way more complicated than what I have modeled but I'm going to invoke the 'good enough' caveat. After all, it it HO scale and the details will be viewed through the windows and the cab door.

Looking forward to everyone's contributions!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

Gidday All, well it’s been another of those weeks, not a lot achieved modelling wise and a computer that still won’t talk to my digital camera, talk about first world problems!!! WinkLaugh
So another one from the train show archives, the Bear really needs to get brave enough to attempt some weathering.
 
Looking forward to the really Good Stuff,
Have a Great One Ffolkes,
Cheers, the Bear. Smile
