n scale Canadian National 4-8-4 Confederation U4a

[Wiredup]

With this tender I wanna keep the trim lines level with the loco as I think it looks really good like that...

so I'll put the road number inbetween the lines where it used to say "Norfolk and Western" and then put a circular hearld above it...

I might also go the extra step and actually do a whole new nose, it just looks better that way instead of the compromise. I can always readd the details with due care and a steady hand!

The Vandy that Bachmann issues would require a new drawbar arm, not a big deal, but the tenders are WAY to long, something I noticed on my Heavy mountains.

I like the look of this anyways, and I'm not numbering it as part of the 6400 series... its more of a tribute right now than an actual full on kitbash... but that could change.


Thanks for the tips! I'll be finishing paint and hopefuly moving onto decalling tonight.
