And a little bit more on the 725 this is my slow period as don't want to lose the rivets or the belt line
So didn't do any body work tonight did a little work to the chassis of the 725 with high tech battery boxes and air tank and DW tank supports, molded the stewart fuel tank and skirts Till next update
Good to know other roads followed the Southern Pacific maintenance guidebook: "If it fits, use it. If it doesn't, use it anyway. And symmetry is for amateurs."
So this arrived today for my CNW GP30 pool unit Starting to build the detail package for it It's still a ways off as my 725 is first then get back to my sw8 then my business train
Formation flying u boats out of position Going to get stripped and repainted into N&W Correctly that is because fall of 1979 most hamburger herald units were repainted into NW on the hoods
So back on the 725 with more sanding then more putty to let set up for 24 hours as it's on super thin Anyway got a little done on the truck added 1st of 6 Slope journals 5 to go plus 2 square journals per proto pic I'm working from So here's the little I got done tonight
So got some work done on GP30 #2222 cannon fans being added lift rings and decided to see what the Blues Brothers would look like together The 725's blue might just end up being it's sun bleached destiny on the WNW hoping they'll look good together when done
So found a new way to speed up the removal of the Timken bearings and replacing them with the DA journals one side done with all slope 20 slope 2 square journals left to go then can get back to cleaning up the sealed portholes Enjoy the 725 update
So as get closer to units being painted I took GP30 2222 as my Guinea pig think I might need just a tad darker Grey for the roof Yes I know it looks like a variation of the B&O it's not once I have all its stripes on Give me your thoughts opinions remember they will be grimed per proto pics
