Reading RS-3 11 years 1 month ago #679

JoannaBill OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 422 Thank you received: 63	Okay, guys you have me fired up for a build. Starting an RS-3 similar to 507 below, from the 1951, first order. It is from an Athearn shell and mechanism for the most part. Stripped paint from some needed parts and should have the first photos later this week. Won't go as fast as Chris or the other guys, because of limited time. Stay tuned...

JoannaBill OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 422 Thank you received: 63	Here are the parts laid out. The hoods are an undec MDC hood. First we drill the holes for all of the grabs and lift rings. Next I'll shave off all the cast on stuff, that gets replaced. The next photos will show the body before the add-ons.
