Ok, maybe it's too much time on my hands lately, but I've always had this FM shell with the intentions to down-size it to something else...and that and I wanted to change out my Christmas beep to another railroad..so now I have the makings of a..."burrito"...? Walter, what do ya think, a new engine for your roster?

I'm still thinking of loosing the forward rear radiator and adding in the lost round exhaust ring behind the cab...might just halve the end radiator for the semi correct look. I'll add the twin exhaust stacks somewhere in the middle...

Well, if you like what ya see, grab a razor saw and follow along...and/or mod to your liking.

-1st cut is just behind the front end cap...sand flat.

-2nd cur is between the two sets of side doors...sand flat.

-3rd cut is just behind the back of the cab- there's a slight step there, I cut past that.

-4th cut is centered with the twin stacks and just in front of the rear side step high section so all will match height when done.

-the body in question is a williams FM...find one or use what ya got or can find...they should be pretty darn close.

 

-Mine came without side rails and stantions so I'll have to farm those out or make my own when I get some more wire for railing...seems I'm out.
