Bachman 2-6-6-2

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

There was an eBay kitbash of a Botchmann 2-6-6-2 listed a few months back. From the blurry photos, it didn't look half bad, although I couldn't judge its scale fidelity.

  There are those who might say you're starting from BEYOND scratch, Bob

    No problem. I have a handful of photos of Z1's from a variety of sources, and the best I can really see... smokebox front needs changing, the number boards and headlight on the front need to be changed, the front cylinders are different - either larger if a Z2 or slidevalve top if a Z1.... I will take a lot of pictures as I go and I am sure I will seek help as I go as well. I have done some minor bashing but nothing this major. Yet.

      Thanks Bob.  Sounds like a great future Arrow article also.

        It has been done, I saw one. I am actually going to try it myself. I think 
        the most difficult part is the front cylinders as they would have to be 
        modified, whether you were making a Z1 or a Z2. I will let you know how 
        things progress as I tackle this!
