Several of my projects involve converting 3 rail engines to 2 rail. Sometimes I start out with just the engine shell body and work from that point forward. One of my engines that I picked up had a missing body part. I needed to create from scratch the radiator shroud and fan assembly located toward the rear of the engine. This was a lot of fun and figuring out the best approach and yet still have a realistic component that matches pretty close to the prototype.

Kits really do help model building! If you are of the nature a creative fabricator and not just a slavish assembler, then the beginner’s kit is a great stepping stone toward becoming a master. In fact, we feel that kit assembly creates more model builders by providing a sort of apprenticeship. Didn’t kits teach us the little mechanical mysteries of how a model engine or car is put together?

Based on our deep collection of reference models from days of old, the New York Central “Riders Car” is a unique piece that will be cherished for years to come by almost any modeler with minimal model building skills. It is a great kit to learn and is minimalistic in the sense that it does not have the particulars of a cupola to integrate on the roof.

Please note my test track bench work amplifies the sound to a huge extent because it acts like a sound board, no homasote or cork has been used to make it quiet and my track work has been deliberately laid down to be rough in order to determine engine and car performance at various speeds.
