Slug 138-T16 viewsProgress shot. Obviously there's still some tweaking to do... Happily the handrail set from an Atlas C-630 fits like a glove... just need to figure out how to bend the far end down for the steps...

Steam Era Hoppers21 viewsNote to self - Don't apply Dullcote in high humidity to paint that isn't fully cured...
A couple of washes will help with those odd weathering patterns.

Smoke Box Modifications11 viewsI still need to clean up the front of the smoke box. In the perfect world, I would have a cleaner resin or metal casting done for the front end. But just moving the headlight up to the top of the smokebox achieves the beginnings of the Potomac's brutish good looks.Jun 08, 2010

Cab Overlay13 viewsThanks to Chris Schmuck, another product for the lazy WM enthusiast! The WM's Potomacs and Challengers were delivered with all-weather cabs. Chris drew up an etching that overlays the existing cab to represent this on the model. The spare shell below shows the cuts necessary to open up the window areas.Jun 08, 2010
