Converting a USA Trains diesel motor block to a 4-coupled steam loco

[gregh]

Finally it`s finished, apart from lining and lettering. The cab is still held on by blue tack till I do the lettering.




The on`off switch and charging studs `camouflaged`.


Now I have to decide on..
a cowcatcher??
a headlight??  or small marker lamps on the front buffer??
Do I like the red wheels, or would black be better?  or
Should I paint some of the springs etc grey to highlight them?

More pics and video will appear elsewhere.

Very good!

Could you 'Photoshop' the pictures to try different colours to wheels etc. before committing to the paintbrush?

Good idea. Will take a side shot and experiment with colours/highlighting and lining.
