Well it has been awhile since I've done anything and now the first project that was up to get some work was my fiance's engine. We got this engine two years ago roughly and the rear platform was bent along with the steps being broke. This engine was her dad's engine and I wasn't about to just give up on it and not do anything with it. So now it was time to try my hand at rebuilding the steps and figuring out how to get the platform as straight as I could. Well I managed to do so and was happy with the end result. I went to hobby lobby and got polystyrene and cut new steps out. Granted they aren't like the front steps but once painted, you can't tell. It's even hard to tell if you get close to it. The platform is still slightly bent but I am very happy with the end result as it's not as bad as it was. Now I just have to clean the locomotive shell up and it will be ready to go.
