Decided to dust off the 0-6-0 project
and get back to it. Began cutting the cab sides and ends from .040
styrene.
The wrapper was cut from .001 styrene
sheet using a paper template. The rivets were embossed on the rear
of the sheet with a pounce wheel. Doorframes were made from strips
of .001 styrene and the rolled metal was simulated using .030 rod.
Running boards were made from .040
1/4" space scribeed styrene siding and strips of .001 styrene
Same techniques used to build larger
tenders work in O scale too. In this case a slope backed switch locomotive
tender.
