Troy,

Great info...Mike, thanks for starting the new thread...it's a wealth of info others may not have seen.

John,

xmas is over........yeah......I got a new hobby.....my son's N gauge railroad.....should be fun though.

I did get back close enough to the workbench to put in the rear formers and some sheeting. You have to be mindful when sheeting at this stage to keep the still-fragile fusebox straight. I like to sheet the bottom of the forward fusebox first.....giving it more stiffness to work with. I left the aft sheeting off to have access for the deps that I just ordered....might be few days.....

Since I have to wait I will likely sheet some of the aft section, still leaving access to easily put in the deps when it gets here. The top forward 1/16" ply sheet can be done as well.....
