Sell? No, but give freely, sure, but I am not an ldrawer...yet (Just
bought my first <shudder> PC so now I am *able* to download ldraw:-).
Actually, there are just a few techniques that I used that could be
incorporated into any Steamer to make it look more prototypical. My design
isn't so hot, especially when one considers that I used regular stock
wheels as drivers <shudder>. John Gerlach and I have worked on an idea of
<more shudders> cutting 5571 hubs to create drivers. John's first
prototype of the Hiawatha Hudson/Atlantic [1] is a delicate (albeit
beautiful) beast indeed.
I will take more detailed photos which will allow one to see clearly how my
0-8-0 was built.
-John
[1] The Hiawatha was pulled first by Atlantics (4-4-2), and then to the
more modern Hudsons (4-6-4).
John G modeled the Hudson body but used only 4 drivers (a la the Atlantic)
because of design and other constraints.
