Plastic ice cube trays are handy for holding small parts. If the frame is all metal, try using lacquer thinner to remove the paint.

Love the startup sequence

CN sucks! 😂😅

Looking forward to following your progress.

Hi Mike, I'm looking forward to the series and learning from you.

Hi Mike, looking forward to your updates from.

Can’t wait for it!

Thanks for the update Mike, looking forward to it! (Dave).

Hey Mike! Looking forward to scenery content!

Brake fluid works great, tool and is less toxic to breathe. In either case, leave it overnight in solution before hitting the toothbrush.

Great tips. Thanks so much for sharing!

Has anyone done a full series on building one of these kits? I see gilmaur kits floating around but my confidence in building one is low and I'd like to see the full process of building one before attempting one myself. I'm not sure they make these kits anymore so I'd hate to ruin one by accident.

Mike. I watched what you did with interest. I'm a Milwaukee modler in "O" scale so my parts and pieces are much larger. I've had success with paint stripper for metal on chassis components leaving just bare metal just needing a little tooth brush and dishwashing liquid soap scrub / rinse and drly with microfiber towel. Now ready for primer. By the way, have you posted the finished engine? I'd like to see it.

Hi Mike. Any updates on your models?

Thank you very much this is a great ideato get more Out of my locos.

Mike- I know this is fairly old but it's still great! Thanks for posting. Ned H.

You said that you didn't like those bolts sticking out that held the fire extinguisher bracket...you could either re-use the bolts/braket mount and put grab irons or a lift ring on the out side. You can also make a housing to hold some outdoor cb audio equipment if you don't want it to fill the cab.

I see you've conqured the hardest part. The rest should be a breeze in terms of meticulous parts. Good look

Nice progress man! Any update on the scratch built sw?

Facing the speeder from the outside. The wiper blade that came off the left side appears to look more like a style more common with older locomotives like SD38, SD40 etc. I wonder if the blade on the right was a replacement with whatever was available.

You need to have fuses as a safety feature. However since you have to redo it all anyway use an automotive style box with blade fuses or marine grade box with blade fuses

Just a FYI. Actually the fire extinguisher mount was in the correct orientation when you removed it.

No battery? Thanks, this is interesting!

I suggest before you sandblast the head that you reinstall that or a sacrificial plug. It's probably not your first rodeo though. BTW it looks to be a 14mm x 1.25 pitch or slightly less than 9/16 in. If it was mfgrd. in Canada probably a metric.

Looking forward to watching your progress on this. If you ever need a hand, give me a holler.

Those bump outs are for structural support.. otherwise vibration would self destruct. Buy a DX coil, well worth the money.

Looks pretty cool Mike. My friend had an enclosed CN one and got to ride out and back into his garage and I was hooked. Lookin forward to watching the updates.

Outstanding idea for the louvers!

Trying to do something like this, only hold up is the door vents.

I am a fan of your videos but ... shouldn't you put the decals AFTER painting the engine?

Nice video!. What brand/model drone do you have? Video is nice and sharp.

Looking good!

what is its endurhance?

Nice shots. It’s amazing how steady your drone is.

Why didn't you just use the Chopper to cut the hinges?

Thanks for sharing!!! Great day!

Amazing catches of the trains coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars, keep up the great work, I subscribed your channel, can you subscribe back, Greetings from Portugal.

Very well crafted, can you please publish the materials you have used here.

Michael you've been quiet too long. I hope everything is well with you. Would you please share with us the source for the 3D printed single headlight that you had mentioned at the end of this segment? Looking forward to your next segment in this build.

Nice job so far. However, it looks like you applied the louvers on upside down.

What happened to your channel!!!!

You can also get MEK at most hardware stores. Works great on most plastic but not all....

I’m not sure those spark arrestors are tall enough on the stack part above the can

Looking great Mike, the louver decals are a great detail

Another couple of great tips learned, the louvers as decals is GREAT and kicker is a nice addition to any modelers glue supply. Subscribing to this channel has insured an entertaining video is sure to be found. Solid closing quote too, “Keep ‘er on the shiny side!”

Impressive...

Man, I can’t get over the amount to detail you S-Scalers dive into. I’d go cross eyed, but love to see the scratch building process. Another well done segment, this is a series I always enjoy tuning into. Who knows, one of these days I just might dabble in the S-Scale world! Keep up the great work Mike!

And you are using a vintage Jays Potato Chips pencil!

Great Video Mike! I like the "real commentary" during the cutting of styrene! Keep it up!

You S-Scalers are the modeling worlds mad scientists 👨🏻‍🔬...the work and effort ya put forth would make many HO modelers cringe. One has gotta do, what ya gotta do. You’re making great progress and we’ll be looking forward to part 2.
