Another shot of the end platform and steps.
Closeup of the end, Sergent couplers and coupler box, dont worry though folks, the end cages will be rebuilt as well
Another view of the steps and end platform
Much like the rest of the stock Atlas caboose, the smokejack is nothing like what is on a Katy caboose, plugging holes
Next is to cut the bottom "bell" portion off and to introduce a little brass rod
A few small pieces of styrene for the vents and we have a new smokejack to match the Katy variant.
Original smokejack location plugged, as expected the Katy's smokejacks were no where close to the location of the Atlas model.
In relocating the smokejack I had to make new roof ribs out of styrene
Plugging some unwanted windows
More plugging, exciting isnt it.....
Sanding .....
Had to plug one window on each end....
