Z1B

Thanks Frank,

I've considered it but as I mentioned to Ed, I don't have any experience in modifying brass models.

Thanks,

Greg Davis

Greg: coming from left field; the NJCB Z seems to be more available.  Might it be a better starting point?

All,

I've been trying to find a PSC Z1b for years and it seems they are made of unobtainium.
One did show up on a sale site this AM but was gone in 3 minutes!

I've almost resolved myself to bashing one but I'm no steam expert. My strong point is bashing diesels into prototype models but I have never attempted to kit bash a steam locomotive, mainly because I don't know the commercial availability of all of the detail parts and I don't have the understanding of what all of the components do and an eye for "right" versus N&W diesels.

Has anyone on the list attempted to kit bash a Z1b? Any recommendations for a novice with a very different modeling skill set?

Thanks,

Greg Davis
