The "front and rear porches", if memory serves, were cut from Athearn S-12 ?? shells. I intend on scratch building steps for another "Hustler modification". Some sheet styrene, and a NorthWest Short Line "Chopper III", "Poof !!" 's done ! ( OK, "will be" done )
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
Your Hustle Muscle center cab looks great -- it just looks powerful. My center cab splice came from a 70's Rail Modeler magazine. The article originally called for an Athearn chassis as the pwoer train, but I decided to grind down a P2K SW9 chassis because it just runs smoother than an Athearn. One of these days I will actually finish the shell work and paint it. Someday....

well.................mine has been sitting waiting for couplers for around two years!

Hello---a couple of Grand Valley SW-1200 road switchers are spotted at Leetown.Transferred from their home terminal on the EG&E,these locomotives served a dual role of local switching and branchline power.These two units have just returned from Port Maitland.

yes it is an AJIN Brass Model. Only 200 where build from Ajin. I have added a Loksound 3.5 Sound decoder with an Balwin sound wich sound maybe mostly to the original sound.
I think the sound was like a fishing boat
