Hello everyone! I’ve started collecting various kits that I am going to use in my model of a Colorado town called Morrison, which Ive got a build thread detailing what I’ve gotten done so far. You can find that thread here:
Anyways. This is the first kit that I have received in the mail. It is a HoN3 scale model of a c-16 locomotive from Wiseman model services. It is comprised of cast metal parts, resin floorboards and boiler.
I purchased this because I would love to make a scale model of my all time favorite locomotive. The Denver South Park and pacific #191.

There are subtle differences but they two types are very close to eachother visually. I’ve gotten a few photos of the prototype locomotive that I am modeling. I’m also going to be ordering more brass detail parts to help finish the build.
I don’t have much for tools right now, tweezers, hobby knife and needle files etc. I’ll be ordering more tools and supplies once I start working again. Anyway, here is a photo of the model I took last night, I’ve circled some of the parts I’m going to use (there are two different options
let me know what you guys think. I’m excited to start working on this model more. If you have any tips or tricks I’d love to hear them as I’ve never done a model like this before.
