I was checking out the Banta Modelworks website,
http://www.bantamodelworks.com/T2085.htm and decided to
take a try at one of their wood cab kits. I decided on the one
for the Bachmann Climax. The kits are very detailed and lots
of fun to build. I am really pleased with how it turned out.
With the help of Dave Goodson, we got the original cab removed and
the wood cab installed. I then replaced the electric type
light on the front with an older oil burning one. Since the
backup light was on the original cab I decided to add an oil burning
light to the rear on the tender. The coal load was changed to
a wood and the smoke stack changed to a diamond stack. Running
the thread through the small holes in the cab for the bell and
whistle was a challenge. Lastly I added 2 of the Railroad
Avenue figures and a couple of barrels for them to sit on in the
cab.
