Welcome to the Backshop
A peek inside the repairs of your model locomotive
Well as I have finally gotten around
to setting the backshop up. As you can see I am just getting started. I should
have it up and running so you can see first hand what I do to get a wrecked
or tired locomotive back on the mainline .So check back
soon.
Coming soon pictures of and the progress of the following projects in the backshop
Here are pictures of the rebuilding of a Rivarossi 2-8-8-2 Y6b that was destroyed at the hands of the wrong type of repair shop. It took 1 year to restore this lady back to her former self and operate once again on the high iron. #2174 had damage to the following
Boiler damaged and separated from the cab . Electric pickup on the underframe smashed. Pilot beam and metal work broken and bent. Cylinder saddle damaged. Here are pictures of her repairs and her completion.
