The conversion of the Bachmann Rheanas has come on in leaps and bounds with the removal of the original chimney and the replacement of a more authentic looking chimney.

Removing the chimney took a great deal of effort which required me to invest in some needle files to remove the spare material from the base of the chimney.
Once the smokebox was added I decided to keep the original cab from Rheanas and began the process of basecoating the locomotive.

I am in the process of procuring a new shade of red paint for the locomotive that will set it apart from the other red locomotives in the fleet. I have LMS Crimson Lake in mind which would set it apart from the Indian Red I have favoured thus far. Time will tell.
