RE: Can anyone make this train?

You're probably gonna hear "Build it yourself" or words to that affect. So I'll try to get a word in first...Personally, my current project list is about a mile long, so it's not possible. The train is also "too modern" for my area of interest so I wouldn't be inclined to model it on my own. Sorry.Anyone would also need some sort of scale drawing to start. If you can dig one up, there's a better cahnce of getting a model done.I personnaly would suggest you learn the software and build it. Not trying to be a pain in the butt, I just know how much fun it's been to learn the skill required to do this.One reason I started modeling and taught myself the basics was to get models of trains no one else was creating. It really isn't as hard as you might think, but the learning curve is long, even if you use TSM like I do.The basic shape of this entire train could be whipped up pretty quick (once you know how to do it). It's all the little details that take time, but really make an excelllent model.I guess that's not much help to you, but take a shot at it anyway.Frank MusickMoving America into the 19th Century!
