Been working to close tolerances all my professional life......couple that with a love of all things HO scale and that's me all over.:tongue-out3::tongue-out2::tongue-out: Crazy as a Loon. Rick H.

Here's a little more to bring you up to speed.

Got the end caps on the tank made some cab steps and scratched out the "in & out" and the e-brake.

Looking good, nice to see it's taking shape.

Nice progress Rick. The old timer is coming along well.

Thanks Gerry, one photo builds can be a challenge as you have to be creative when it comes to the sides you can't see. Rick H.

Thanks for stopping by. :thumb2: Rick H.

Rick,
Lovely conversion work especially given the scale.

[Jim R]

Hi Rick
Great project. You are really good at these conversions. This is looking excellent and your work at this scale is impressive. Love the use of the drill box :thumb2:

Thanks Scottie......it is a tad small but so much fun! No worries about where to put it when its done! LOL Rick H.

Hi Jim, Glad you stopped by.....yeah, the drill case was a last minute innovation. One has to be on the look out for anything usable in this scale....I think it's half the fun sometimes. Rick H.:thumb2:

Here it is with the "lid" on it and a wee crank to spin the motor over and get the "Old Girl" chuggin'.

[Tim Marlow]

Conversion is coming togethe4 now Rick. Reminds me of Jack Jones’ butchers van :tongue-out3:

Right hand drive? He's driving on the wrong side of the road? What's up?

[Mini Me]

Thanks Tim....glad you're liking it, it's a fun little project and I am having to be really "light" handed in doing this .....sort of like working with egg shells. Rick H.
