Ryan,

I've given up waiting <G>  I have 2 plans for modifying my Walthers  
loco.  The first, as I noted in a previous email is to use styrene.  
Gary Mittner suggest that this could be done by making several  
styrene contour pieces and then wrapping them in thin styrene sheet,  
basically like the prototype.

Alternatively, I have thought about making a rubber mold using a  
Belpaire section and then casting the Belpaire in resin.  To do that  
I would need a Belpaire to use to make the mold - any ideas?

Regards
Bruce
