For a longe while, I have been wanting to scratchbuild a UP 4-12-2. Does anyone have any clue where to get plans in 1/87th?(perferably free) Also, should the boiler/superstructure/everything else be styrene, brass sheeting, or a mix of both? Thanks for reading. MJC Please? Anyone? [ 29. January 2005, 18:04: Message edited by: Michael J. Caboose ]
