    Before I ever started work on this model, I spent a number of hours doing online research of the Br-52. So many times, information found on the internet is not reliable so I take it with a grain of salt. But it's quite true that my sum total knowledge of railroading could be held in a thimble compared to knowledgeable railroad folk.

    I once owned a bottle of invisible ink, but I was never able to determine how much I had left. Quite a conundrum.

    You could draw your own plans with invisible ink.

    You're too kind Jonathan. Yes, she has replaced my rubber ducky, she makes bath time so much fun. 😎

    Lol, I should have read your post before I replied to Roger. I guess we have our answer...smoke deflectors. Your reply was on page 3, a new page.
  28. CDW
    Roger I've been told those are smoke deflectors, but I don't really know for sure.

    I dunno for sure Lou, but I think you may have nailed the message behind the name.

    Today was the beginning of the coal tender construction. The focus was on steps 1, 2, and 3. The construction of these steps was very straight forward with no issues at all. Assembly went quite fast. After everything was assembled, gave it all the base color coat of field grey. I like the way Trumpeter gave a detailed rendering of the suspension on this model. It adds something to see in an otherwise dull part of the model. It's going to be a fairly quick build to finish this coal tender. Will probably go ahead and start the Leopold rail gun after the tender is completed so as to present the entire model as I originally conceived of it when I bought these items years ago. I think I've had these items in my to-do pile for 10 or 15 years. The model came out in 2005 and I believe I bought it when it first came out.

    The key principle and the key word here is reciprocity. What we object to is the complete disregard for reciprocity which is key and critical to the function of free people and freedoms everywhere across this planet.

    Along with the whole of your model, your carvings are very impressive. Nice work Phil.

    I'm not crazy about that red either. I followed the color call-out for those...maybe a dull coat would tone it down some. If not, I will paint over them with field grey.

    Thanks again for the comments and suggestions. Here, we've completed steps 24, 25, and 26. With these steps, general assembly and painting of the locomotive is now complete. Decals are yet to be added and will do so at the conclusion of building/painting the coal tender. There may be some detail painting added before it's all said and done, but there's still so much to be done with the coal tender, the Leopold rail gun, and possibly a flat car with an anti aircraft gun. All these of course will be displayed upon a set of track that also must be built and painted.

    Mike Which are you using, wood glue or epoxy to build your model? From what you said, I'm guessing you've had occasions where warping/twisting happened after gluing the two halves together. Any tips on how to prevent a warp or twist?

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
