Model Railroading > Frisco Steam is alive and well.

Latest thing out of the West Pacific shops is this Frisco USRA Lt. mike with the tall cab.  This started out as an Akane model that I picked up cheap about 6 months ago.  Finished tuning it up today and got the Econami decoder tweaked the way I wanted it.   It hasn't been through the Pan Pastel shop yet, but could go into service on a break in run now.  Can motor and KTM gearbox.
I should have put a brakeman in the doghouse.
Getting old and this is getting harder because of essential tremors now and then.  I still enjoy brass bashing though.

I removed the Akane USRA cab, made new sides and end walls, kept the roof as it has the correct profile.  I did one a while back with the conventional Frisco cab.  Also just finished a 4100 for a friend.

Damn good lookin engine.

Very nicely done, Don.

Excellent!

Don,

There are simply no words.  Absolutely gorgeous work.  Always love seeing what you turn out of those West Pacific shops!  Thanks for sharing.
