  Some people are so impatient . You know how fast Chuck works , so don't expect anything until after Christmas .

   I , on the other hand , churn out models by the dozen . If you like I can show you a picture of an oil drum I've been  working on for a few days !

Not much to update. I fitted the Danbury wheels in order to begin designing replacements in Solidworks. And then trying to stay interested in cutting and assembling 200 pieces of radiator fins and spacers (which is about 23.7 percent more interesting than watching paint dry, but only because a sharp knife is involved.)

Nick, feel free to add on a couple of rooms, you have plenty of time. (and where is that oil drum picture?)

The new bright red wheel is the most realistic and fascinating detail so far. Love it to death. -- ssuR

Only 200 pieces?  Wait till you see how many pieces are in Nick's barrel...

Love those front wheels gives it a lot of class.

Last bit of modeling for the year. I built and started weathering the radiator core, using the same exact method as the previous tractor I did. Eighty five .003 Mylar laser cut fins, .010 styrene spacers and .02 styrene rod for the tubes.  Easy, but tedious.

Nothing wrong with that subassembly. -- Russ

Cool! (right to the core) looks like a greta detail to wind up the year with. Merry Christmas, Chuck!

[TRAINS1941]

Chuck that is looking really nice. Glad you have the patience.

You have lived up to your title Mr. Wizard once again this year!!

You can take the rest of the year off!!!
