Gentlemen, thanks for all your kind words.

I had an email question for info that I should have included above.

Bob Stears plans were in the November/December 2018 issue of the Gazette (not so recent!).

For the underframe / brake rigging, I used very old plans by Steven Brewster for the Pullman tourist sleeper in Model Railroader.
The plans were the centerfold, and are not marked with the issue number, date, etc. Sorry.

BTW, for you HOn3 guys, Roy Stevens just released another C&S passenger car print, combine 20:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/304958536848?hash=item4700f1fc90:g:wzIAAOSw7iNkdSs~



The lettering is pre WWI. If you model the 1930s, it could be painted red for 025 in MOW service:



Would give you some inspiration to get on building that derrick . . .

That one is tempting too- I have a sorta 20 that is a slightly kitbashed Binkley- the windows aren't right and its too short. For the Derick I do have a Rio Grande models pile driver that might make a start (Hey it's a box of sticks does that count as a kitbash?? ) at least for the flat and "cab" Another project to get going..............
