    While I watch paint dry..... Now I just purchased a 4-4-0 on the bay. Anyone kit bashed one of these?


    Because of the tight end corners this little fella will have to go from the log pond through down town and a turnoff to the sawmill.

    I’ve been planning a bash. Replace the stock boiler and cab with one from the 2-6-0, try and beef it up a bit. Haven’t gotten around to getting a new boiler and cab yet, though.

    I have a Forney 2-4-4 that shorts out the track, I'm thinking of robbing the sound card and speaker for the 4-4-0. Any thoughts?

    I don't model any prototype. I am just modeling for mood. I really want a narrow gauge 4-4-0, but a smaller one like this one here in this article:

    I will be curious to see what you do with yours.
