porthole windows. To model these I used .030″×.060″ (Evergreen No. 133) and .040″×.060″ (Evergreen No. 143) styrene strips. I eyeballed their loca- tions.
The last intake at the rear of the lo- 2.
comotive has some kind of structure placed in it. It looks like a cooling grid to me. I used .030″×.188″ (Evergreen No. 138) and .015″×.060″ (Evergreen No. 113) styrene to build this grid. I at- tached it to a plate made of .010″

1. The mold lines around the cab and nose were highlighted with a pencil and then sand- ed smooth with sanding sticks.

These include the air intakes below the roofline and the side panels with porthole windows. 3. The panels were cut out by first drilling holes and then making cuts to con- nect them with either a No. 11 hobby knife blade or a saw blade. The rough cut line that results from this method was then cleaned up with files and sanding sticks. 4. The side panels and the air intakes have been cut out. Care must be taken where panel and intake holes abut. The thin plastic rivet strip is very delicate and can be easily damaged.
