Interesting new look for the globeliner donor, a great start so far Rob.

You'll have to get Greg & Lou to help ya with making a youtube account for future videos cause I just cannot get any of your vids from the railroad show to load.

Thanks Scott and Mike for your comments on the styrene. This is a first for me for this type of construction, but it was fun learning curve. Up till now it's been strictly metal. Plastic melts when you burn coal. Mike, sorry for the confusion, but yes it will be a ForWarD Mover all the way. The Freightliner was just for the concept. I was thinking about it, but it would have been an even bigger mod than what I'm doing. Remember this is my first truck.
Joe, don't know what to say, yours is the first that wouldn't work. Anyone else have a problem. I have a U tube acct. but thought it would be easier to just use one place to link everything for the build.

After sanding and filling too many time to count, I gave her a shot of primer.

The grill was made from a second globe liner grill and the two were sectioned together. I all so attached an extension to the fender flare that runs to the back of the cab.

Next up was to add on some of the lights and stacks to get a feel of how it was going. Even tried new wheels. Sorry Steve didn't know you were making them when this was done.

Next up was making the screw drive and I didn't think to take pictures until it was painted.


Thanks for looking. Rob
