Re-working the Bachmann cab shell. I plan on adding sliding windows, closing in the back some, lining the roof interior with wood. I started by cutting in the catwalk access doors. They didn't turn out to bad for using a cut off wheel on the flex shaft and sawing the corners with a hacksaw blade.

While I was at it I went ahead and removed the molded on gutters, rivets and the raised lip around the edge of the roof. I really should move the fresh air hatch forward as well.

So, if you alter one sort of steam locomotive to the form or shape of another, different, steam locomotive, is it Trains-sexual?

The major chop and cut on the cab is done. Now to re-build it. I filled the old roof hatch and cut a new hole for the new one. Got the sliding windows made ( their just taped in for the pics). The big work was adding to each side of the back of the cab and enlarging those windows...glad that's over!
As a break from the fabrication I treated myself to getting the bell done. It's a 1:20.3 cast metal kit from Ozark Miniatures.
