I’ve been building other people’s designs recently.
Tim Gould’s Seaboard Air Lines VO660, modified a bit.
|
Very nice. I actually got the cab finished on one of these a while ago but
got distracted by other things calling me to build them. I’ll have to
revisit it at some point.
|
Its worth it. I beleive the .mpd file on Tim (Gould)’s BL page is the one I made
after modding the design so if you use that to build don’t be surprised if it
has differences from his version!

A couple of reefers from Jake McKee’s book, again modified.
|
Again, very nice. Is that dark blue? It appears like it on my screen. If
not, now I know a dark blue reefer will look great! The only thing I might
have done differently on these is the use of train bases. For some reason 2
plate heights there is appearing a bit much for me. But that is me.
Congrats on the doors, btw!

It is dark blue. I used the train bases simply because I was doing as simple a
build as possible. I agree that making your own bases gives a better looking and
more flexible design.

It’s nice having the basis done for you while being able to put your own
stamp on the design.
|
Indeed. Just about all my vehicles are done this way. Either that or copied
directly as well as I could.
Great stuff!
