No new photos to show. I've trimmed the steps and footboards off the N scale body. Right now, I'm getting organized for the Annual Midwest NG show in Greenford, OH. That, plus some spring cleaning. Hope to get back to the build soon.

Hi Jeff,
No, not quite. Only made it with three-quarters of the four structures.
I have gotten a little bogged down with Wally's Fish 'n' Chip Shop, and it's taking a bit longer than expected, with family issues and other things.
I'm currently populating the place with figures, but try as hard as I can, I just can't seem to fit a gallon into a three quart bucket![:-banghead]
I have made some progress though, and will post it in the next day or so. Stay tuned......[:-spin]
Keep up the good work, mate. Your little diesel project is going great!
John

Thanks, John. If I get some free time between cleaning and getting ready for the show, I may get a bit more done.

I'm looking forward to seeing the modified frame, I think it'll look much better without the n-scale steps peaking from beneath the frame. I'm really enjoying this build which is making my n-scale GE 70 tonner quite nervous.

I had planned to trim the steps and footboards from the beginning, but it wasn't a high priority step in the building process.

Guys,
I'm at the Midwest NG show right now. I took the parts of my build to show to a couple of critter-minded narrow gaugers. Positive comments all around.
