Hi Errol , thanks for those kind words my friend,,, have you seen the last few shots yet.,
Still working on it

I just peeked again Chris, geeeeee, it just gets better and better.
I had previously thought American "Traction" was street cars a la LA circa 1920's, ie passengers boarding at street level. See how ignorant I've been??
.
Since seeing your posts and a few pics of 1:1 traction posted by others here, I get the impression those railbusses run between communities and require European type 'raised' platforms.
I just knew I would learn things when I joined this forum

Hi Shaygetz,, let me know if those 5 coaches have a chance of becoming Interurbans
Hi Errol Interurbans where very popular in the early days of this centuary ,, and did a wonderful job of moving people and frieght.
There is a lot of history to read up on with great pictures and plans, in North America

SSssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I've got enough to do already 'tween now and GATS w/o adding yet another bashing project to the list
I fitted the running boards in between the pans.
and decided on a dirty black /green paint job. the doors may be a slightly different colour.
let me see now,,,,, I got to fix battary box air tanks and all sorts under the body then guard rails both sides of the frame to protect the said battarys and thingys.
More later.

I don't know how you do it. I have noticed lately that my fingers are not as steady as they used to be and I have to use a magnafying glass to see anything small.
Now you've done it Chris, I've re-read your thread twice now, and I think I have about all the materials on hand if I make my own pathogram, uh, psychographs, uh, pantolones, uh, you know what I mean. Anyway, now I'm drooling and having trouble finishing the project in front of it Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Are the interurbans usually standard gauge? Are they ever narrow gauge? Where do you get a cast front?
