YR - Avesta in 1/35

This article was published May 01, 2020.

The MagicTrain steam loco has been on my mind as a donor chassis since they first came out. I have done a few attempts before, but not got any far until now. This is the same drawing I did about two years ago for ShapeWays and also used on my Koltorp Railway module. This time I did enlarge it to 1/35 and made sure it fits the MT chassis.

I was a bit to impatient to remove the supports, I started right after it was cured. Big mistake .... The cab got bent, so I put a little weight on top to keep it down over the night. This morning I realized what a double mistake that was ... Hole cab got bent the other way instead, so much that even the boiler warped .. A new loco is printing now as we speak.
