TT scale HP Covered Hopper
Well almost finished with my first TT scale car. It's an HP covered hopper kit. It was put together when I bought it. Im using the HP trucks for now. I added an etched brass N scale roof walk and brake wheel (they are a bit oversized.) I glued a styrene strip for a nameplate on the side, added Kadee N scale couplers and there you go. It is a bit light. I would've added more weight, but the kit was all ready built up and it would have destroyed the model had I opened it up to put weight inside. So for now I will let it be. paint is next then decals. I'm gonna see if I can find an N scale covered hopper set for the numbers,etc,... Pictures to follow...I have also been working on using pre-printed TT scale doors to use in converted HO buildings.. I use HO scale plans reduced 72%, then colorized, glued to clear or solid styrene and built into the HO door frames. Let you know how that works out...
