Z1B

[NW Modeling List]

Thanks Ed,

I've thought about starting with a Z1a but I don't have much experience modifying brass models other than adding Cannon parts to brass diesels. Plastic is more in my comfort zone.

This Z-1a is currently listed on BrassTrains.  A very good starting point for a Z-1b.  Ed Painter #70 - From Narrows, VA living in Cohutta, GA

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
