Going to try my hand at Gn15, or better to say 1/24 scale. I am currently working on a loco kitbash from an old HO Model Power Hustler switcher. The loco is not based on any particular prototype, but is something generic from several examples of Gn15 locos I have looked up on Google. I still need to add a front grill plate to the loco, but am still giving some thought on what type of grill I want. I also purchased the 1/24 scale figure off of eBay with arms still needing to be attached!!
I ordered some side-dump wagons, couplers, and coupling links w/chains from Shapeways. These are from Tom Bell's TB Shapeways Store. I am really pleased with how well these printed out items look. The next step is to add wheel sets, assemble couplers, and paint.
The above items will one day run on a new micro layout I am currently in the process of planning. It will feature a mining scene from a location close to where I live. More information will hopefully be coming along in the near future.
Happy Modeling!
