G scale locomotive.

Is it a static model?

If it's not it will be before I'm done butchering it!!

My wife would shoot it with the scatter gun

I've seen a picture of Mrs. Tim. It seems unwise to trifle with her.

I managed to shorten the tender 2 inches, about 4 scale ft. I haven't glued up the seam yet but, I'm pretty happy with the cut since I did it by hand with the jewelers saw. Some putty and sanding and it should disappear.

My wife said it was the Southern and now it's the Uthern....

Looks like a Foxworth name.
'uthern...like "I'm gonna whip yo ass and that uthren SOB also!"
"when I finish this beer I'ma drinkin dat uthern."

That's how she pronounced it, in her Georgia slang...lol.

"Not this Urn, the uthern."
We have funerals to attend in our immediate future.

The cab needed to be shorter for the smaller loco it is now so, I intended on building one. I decided it would be more fun to chop, cut and rebuild the original instead. The surgery was successful and should heal nicely with some putty and sanding. First pic is how it was.

Styrene was used to fill in the area on the cab to fit the smaller boiler.

From 7 to 5 1/4?

Pure craftsmanship here Tim!

I didn't measure the length of the orginal cab but, it's about 6 ft now.
