This is a pack of parts required for a HO Scale (1:87) kit for Union Pacific's Water Tender 'Jim Adams' as used in the excursion train behind UP 844 and UP 3985. It can also be used for ‘Joe Jordan’.
The kit is made up of two packs,
Pack 1, includes the main body, roof handrails, trucks, ladders & headlights.
Pack 1 is only printable in the FD or FUD material. Although the FD is cheaper the finish is a bit rougher, the FUD will give a much smoother result. You can see images of this tender printed in FD on my blog site
here.
Pack 2, this pack, which is printed in the WS&F material, includes the chassis, flag plates, bolster pins and roof top tool boxes.
You will need both packs for the kit, the link below wil take you to the Pack 1 page so you can also add it to your cart.
Pack 1 (Main body, Ladders, Head Lamps, Trucks)
The kit also requires 2 no. Kadee No.5 (Or similar) body mount couplers and 6 no. Proto 2000 series 33” wheel sets No.920-21259, which are not included.
The roof top handrails are very delicate and to prevent damage during shipping they are a separate part contained in a frame, they will require cutting out of the frame before installing.
The body separates from the chassis to allow weight to be added (weight will be needed as they are very light).
Pack 1 for the kit is only printable in the FD or FUD Materials and will require cleaning before painting. I recommend washing with warm soapy water then soaking in 'Goo Gone' or similar product for about 24 hours. Then rinsing off with warm water and allowing to dry.
The flag plates are designed for the flag details from
www.circusdecals.com. A full set of decals for this car can be found
here.
An instruction sheet will shortly be available in PDF format from my blog site.
