    Last night I finished decaling and putting together and AlCO RS3. It started out as an RS11 and an RSD 4/5

    Wow Jim,
    Just wonderful modeling here, all the stumps, the dredge and all just outstanding modeling on the Zalma Branch I presume?

    Thanks and yes. This scene is between Greenbrier and Richardson. Lots of scene compression!

    I got my control panel started and mounted. Still need to route the wires for the Zephyr, but at least it has a home now instead of on the corner of the layout :).

    On the left side will be accessory switches etc which will come at a later date.

    Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

    Very cool dredger. Why the funky shaped doors on the original?

    Thanks. I have no idea. Maybe for maintenance and ventilation.

    Maybe they cut them in that odd shape because of internal bracing in the main structure. Adds a very distinctive and unique look.

    That's true. I've never found any plans for these unique machines and had to go by sketchy photos. I would love to know what these things looked like on the interior.

    And now this morning I have the sign o death . . . can one of the computer savy mods look at the HTML and email me with what the heck is going on?

    ??? No ideas what you saw. Grab a screen capture? If you can post, as above, all should be fine.
