Bachmann Steam photos

[RGW]

I was thinking it would be nice to see kitbashed or weathered  Bachmann steam locomotives.
Lets see your Bachmann steam   Here are two of my projects

 This is a lightly weathered USRA 2-10-2 with delta trailing truck.

I really like the way you've weathered your engines, I plan on putting a Spectrum Heavy Mountain shell on the USRA Light 2-10-2 chassis as a future project.

Here's a 2-6-6-0 I Kitbashed from a 3D Print model:

I really like your 2-6-6-0.  Did you have to modify the frame to get the shell to fit?

Yes, it's relatively simple if you take your time and disassemble the 2-6-6-2, I just grind/cut down the front frame notch and the rear notch as well, then I cut the LED back up light end of the H-4 circuit board and secure it to the tender and solder wires to bachmann all wheel pickup trucks I got from USRA tenders. It runs really smooth and crawls nicely, I may need to add a bit of weigt more too the tender(tender has a weight from an older bachmann gondola which isn't enough)

Nobody has any weathered K4s or 2-8-4s photos to share?

I am working on the Bachmann 0-6-0.  I am putting a  spectrum USRA short tender frame with the Atlas narrow coal bunker tender shell. I have already added detailing to the cylinders and added other details to the boiler. I will post photos when I am done
