1 : 1 scale modeling

We finished up another day with the B unit. All went well and was rather productive.


A bad section on the frame was cut out and a new angle iron was fitted in place. In this pic it is ready for welding.    

I spent the morning cleaning out the frame members from debris like in this before and after set of pics.     Grime, dirt, oil, and rust has built up in the lower crevasse of the truss work, this blocks off the drain holes and just creates more rust. So this is probably the first time they were ever cleaned out.    


   

When this was all finished some of the guys applied this stuff to all the exposed surfaces of the framework.     It removes the rust from the metal and seals it prevent new rust from forming.
