Making a Tender for my Lionel engine...

Drilled a lot of rivet holes and construction continues.

That is a lot rivets!

Eugene, you did not really do that? Did you??? Say it’s an optical illusion. O-M-G.

Stay safe.

I did!I put a micro drill bit in my Dremel and drilled all of those holes!Then I put straight pins in,!

Eugene, you are up there where the air is rare. [:D[

782 if My calculations are correct!

Primer applied…

Added some ladder detail…

Looking great Eugene.

Thanks!

That’s pretty cool Eugene.

Thanks ,I miscalculated and made it too tall for the engine!

After the repaint.

Are you Sure?

You must’ve a drill Sergeant in the military. Even I couldn’t drill that much! Good God, How many Holes did you say?

Hiyo!

You can cut it down from the Top! I made a car for a friend and did the same thing. I just took it off the top!

782 I drilled them by making a drill spacing plate and used the Dremel to drill all of the holes!I found an original style tender and painted it gunmetal gray too!

Nice work Eugene! [C]

Stay safe.
