A few weeks ago someone asked how to build the Silver Charger. A
couple people mentioned the one I built a few years ago, but I'm
building a new one now to possibly sell on Ebay. I've uploaded a
couple of construction pics to the photo's section. A couple more
construction pics can be seen on the last page of my Rail Images
page here.. http://www.railimages.com/gallery/johntyson?page=1
There are also pics of the first one I built there.
The model still needs some details but all the major work is done.
I'm not going to go into great detail how I did it, but I'll give
you a quick run down.
All the fluteing on the sides of the loco and the car end is from
a Kato business car. All the gray plastic in the nose is from a
Proto 2000 E6 nose sectioned horizontaly. The roof section over the
engine compartment is also from the E6 along with the modified
pilot. The roof section over the baggage compartment is something I
had laying around. I believe its from Rivarossi. The Kato Roof
doesn't have a long enough section without either a roof vent or
holes for the roof top antenna getting in the way. I cut sections
out of the Kato roof to make the bottom skirting along the sides.
The short tapered roof section was shaped out of a solid piece of
styrene. Everything else was scratchbuilt using sheet and strip
styrene.
