Going to try Bob's suggestion by posting a photo of a model and see what happens. I don't have a tank car photo at the office, so you're stuck with this.

Butch, it's showing up sideways on my IPad. Anybody know what the fix is?

A tender on its side? It got tired and decided to take a little nap?

That's because it's lying on it's side. That's a foam pad under it.

Yes, it was waiting for a stupid post and fell asleep. Now that I've made the stupid post it might wake up. I'll have more stupid posts shortly.

Hooray for stupidity!

Oh, no. Wait.... Mid-term elections aren't until next year.

OTOH, we have primaries here in VA next month - more than enough stupidity to go around...

So...the fix is to pay more attention

I would, but with my daughter, son-in-law, and the 19-month old grandson living with me all I can think of is getting out of the house. I haven't touched my trains in almost 2 months.

I will be getting out soon to shoot my new toy:

I don't think I'll be able to do any RR stuff until they find a house.

Koh's Challenger Tender weathered by Lee Turner showing a friend how the draw bar hooks up to the tender pin. A real bugger trying to get it hooked up.

OK...just finished a Jon Cagle resin kit (P:48). Weathering yet to come.


And then used Jay's P:48 conversion kit on an Atlas 3R SW8. Something is still not right though...

Gregg,

Did I forget to mention the couplers?

How did the conversion kit work out for you?

[bob turner]

Beautiful!

[up148]

Nice job Gregg! Photos showing actual models built is a lot more interesting than a factory model with someone else's weathering......but. Maybe we can just do a "show and tell" thread and keep it rolling regardless of the source of the model. There is always something to learn. Bob and Martin seem to have an unending supply of custom builds.

As the grandkids would say, easy peasy. You were right - literally drop in replacements for the existing wheel sets! Thanks for producing the kit.
