Z1B

[NW Modeling List]

Thanks David,

I'm leaning towards this approach.

Hi,

I think it might be a decent approach to get a bachman 2-6-6-2 and add some n&w appliances.  N&w's were related to the usra and/or c&o 2-6-6-2.  If you add a keep alive, you can make up for any pick up issues.

I did something similar to make a usra 4-8-2, it was fun.  Basically I drilled a few holes, filled a few holes, and painted the boiler black with the new stuff on it with a higher quality model spray can.  It came out ok.

All,

I've been trying to find a PSC Z1b for years and it seems they are made of unobtainium.
One did show up on a sale site this AM but was gone in 3 minutes!

I've almost resolved myself to bashing one but I'm no steam expert. My strong point is bashing diesels into prototype models but I have never attempted to kit bash a steam locomotive, mainly because I don't know the commercial availability of all of the detail parts and I don't have the understanding of what all of the components do and an eye for "right" versus N&W diesels.

Has anyone on the list attempted to kit bash a Z1b? Any recommendations for a novice with a very different modeling skill set?

Thanks,

Greg Davis
