Product Description
This is a bodyshell for a locomotive to match a quench car, for example the Walthers quench car. The model is designed to be a static model but it may be possible to power it using a NWSL 6'6 wheelbase power truck.
There are two versions available, depending if the quench tower is located to the right or the left of the coke ovens. This version is for the quench tower to be located to the LEFT when looking at the coke side of the ovens.
The model is offered both in the White Strong & Flexible material (or Black Strong & Flexible if you prefer) and in Frosed Ultra Detail. The WSF/BSF is the more cost effective material though with a slightly rough surface. The FUD surface is smoother but the shell needs cleaned from residue before painting.
The shell is designed for the modeler to add handrails, grabirons and a ladder. There are pilot holes for the main grabirons (along the ladder) and for a stanchion of the handrails. Additional holes will depend on the chosen type of handrails.
The shell is designed for Kadee #148 couplers in a #242 pocket and there are guide holes for drilling. Be VERY careful when drilling and tapping the holes as the drill/tap will break through the front if drilled more than a few mm deep. Drill very carefully and stop immediately if you see signs of it breaking through.
Lastly it is possibly to install window glazing by cuttting clear plastic to size and glue to the inside of the shell. In the end opposite the quench car is also a headlight that can be lit by a light source inside the shell.
