    I am completing the last resin shells I cast a few years ago. My roster now contains 5 complete C30-7As and two C36-7s with two more -7As being built. The initial kitbash took several months, and building the fleet has taken over three years.

    I am now down to me reject shells. Some of which I was able to reserect with some putty and a lot of patience.

    C36-7:

    They came out OK. I don't think they are show quality, and there are still detail discrepancies (I had to leave the 5 step pilots alone, of they would pull apart when pulling a long train). I plan on upgrading the trucks to the C40-8 style when I have time.

    I may sell a few on Ebay in the future, but the mold is broken and I am unable to cast more.

    Let me know what you think.
