List,
I am pleased to share my finally completed model of the DL&W's coupler conversion car, X600.
Having only one photo to work with, and just a little information that was posted by list members, I used a little modeler's license to come up with this model.
The chassis is from a Bachmann Light Mountain tender, and the body is a shortened Con-Cor NYC Hudson style tender.
I chose to put a cover over the coal bunker rather than scratch build an empty bunker. This also allowed me to install a light circuit for the back-up light to operate when the unit is in reverse. The markers are painted and do not operate. Although possible, it would have been a major project (read pain).
It's painted with Polyscale D&H gray and I used both Microscale and PMD decals, with an overcoat of flat lacquer. The hardest part was to make an 'X' in the large number on the back. I tried using legs from the 'A' in Lackawanna with no success. I managed to get it close using two halves of a 'K'.
At this time it has a Micro-Trains coupler on the front so I can run it with my Intermountain FT AB set. Since no one makes a more correct FTSB in N and kitbashing one is way down on my list, this will have to do.
Now I can go back to my Phoebe Snow ACF coaches.
