More work on the train

I really wonder if there was an easier way to do this but I cut out the windows on the cab like this



pin vise to drill holes along the outline of the window



then a keyhole saw blade



which leaves fairly messy holes so then you spend a few hours filing





if you were wondering about the yellow tape it was so I could work out the straight lines to cut windows at the front





then I added frames



and a bit of an edge at the front of the roof



and started on an interior, not sure if this boiler looks right or not



sorry this is a bit blurry but I just spent a few more hours cleaning up all mold lines on the top thingies.

New Train - Fast Lane "Western Express"

Hey folks I picked up a new train today from Toys R Us, just curious if anyone else has painted or modded up one of these.I did a repaint on the smaller Fast Lane trains I picked up a few years ago and started a bit of a flood of other trains in the Warmachine forums. This one uses the same gauge of track but has pivoting bogeys and is a fair bit bigger.












nice you can easily fit 40mm bases in the goods car and with a bit of a squeeze a 50mm fits.








the half a train station is nicely scaled for minis too, helpfully I have another half from the previous train so can glue the two together to make a whole building, it could use a platform though.
