Progress on Spec 2-8-0 kit bash, ICRR 908

[ICRR]

Lanny,
     That looks terrific. I know what you mean about the tender. MR several years ago ran an article about changing the B-S 2-8-0 into an engine from some New England road. THe author had chopped down the tender so it is doable. I'm thinking of using the two Hallmark tenders that I have in place of the B-S tenders. That will mean changing the connectors and insulating the brass undercarriage among other things.

     Shortening the tender as in the late 900 series will change the amount of space for sound installation. So one would have to investigate a shorter circuit board for the tender.

Huzzah, huzzah! 
(Which doesn't mean that I'm not looking for another use for those 16V tenders:
F,H,K - you should be able to fill in the numbers!

My apologies to everyone for somehow getting two threads on the same subject.

I've finished the #908 boiler except for painting. Here's some photos of it's final 'look' before painting.







tender is next!
