Ken, Yikes! We southerners have been cowering under quilts in the thirties at night. Recently, the weather folks announced possible snow for Christmas here in COLUMBIA, SC, so we are retreating to KEY WEST for warmth!!
You folks are really brave<G>! Respectfully shivering Bob McCarthy PS Jan is taking sweaters and sweats because it will be in the 60's in KW, very cold for there. --- On Thu, 12/23/10, mhrywest <[email protected]> wrote: From: mhrywest <[email protected]> Subject: {S-Scale List} Modeling questions To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, December 23, 2010, 2:27 AM This afternoon, Steve Doyle, Jim Brown and I got together to start work on our H10-44's from Smoky Mountain, OK so we were impressed but here are some questions. 1. The cab end of the model is so open, has anyone done anything with the interior? It sure seems like a great idea. If not, I am going up to Duluth to get some shots of the interior in the H12-44 up there and do more thinking. 2. The unit has soooooooo much space for DCC and sound, where are folks installing it? Opportunities I can see are under the floor in the cab (The floor which is part of the interior from question 1. Or using the Railmaster Bass Reflex speaker, have the speaker sound come out of the radiator screen on top and the bass port sound out of the stacks. No matter how this sounded the concept is just plain exciting. 3. The body casting is beautiful, I spent 2 careful hours taking off detail that was not on the engine I am modeling,now I have to add some louvers. Is there a louver detail add on similar to the rivets that you can buy? 3. Steve brought over his Imagine That, Industrial Building, WOW! this is an amazing kit or for me as I am using more of a flat concept it is about 8 feet of scenic beauty. I am mocking up my industrial area with Steve's parts until I get the flat pieces I need. He also brought in a hotel kit, the dang thing included every floor, the industrial building had the floors, interior posts and supports. Serious stuff, I wonder where Steve will get enough furniture for all the rooms in the hotel? I know he has some "figures" to use in one of the rooms...... Well that is it for now, thanks in advance for any ideas. Enjoy the blessings of the holidays, if you are like me, Santa does not bring any S Scale, but the model train fairy seems to make enough trips to the basement that I am never in short supply of projects.
