Locomotive Cab

[Dick_Morris]

Can anyone point me to a description of building a 1-1/2" scale riveted steel locomotive cab? I did a search here but didn't turn up anything. Dave has described some of the details, but at this point I'm just looking for the box. I thought that seeing how someone else had done it would give me some ideas. I have prototype drawings.

Dick:
When I get my riveted cab done this winter for my small Mikado, I'll share photos.
I've got ideas on how to do it. The 4 sides are already laser cut, and I've drilled about 150 rivet holes.
Many more yet to drill.
In the mean time...

See "Building A 1.5" Scale Mogul" by Bob Reedy in Live Steam, May/June 1997 p. 37.
