Keystone Details announces a PRR Steam Engine Detailing Kit

Like an emoji with his finger down his throat for use in the Product Discusion forum?   

I appreciate it.  In my day job I have to be very straight-laced and PC...but deep down inside my sense of humor is stuck in middle school.   

And no, I didn't create that emoji...   

I vote yes on the product discussion emoji (even though I refuse to use them).

No need to be politically correct with me. If they were going to start censoring people, I am sure I am pretty high up there on the list. Just ask @VonRyan .

I think that's more of a "drool" face. Not unlike this:

Then I misinterpreted the image name in the url....

What we really need is a purple headed keystone.

John,

Now... NOW you do this, when I'm modeling the NP and SP&S?   

Actually, some of those parts are not limited to use on PRR engines.  Particularly, things like the compressors and power reverse
at the very least, could be used on a lot of steam engines.

Yeah, but it's only looks blue when new. Otherwise it just looks black.

Well, although I posessed the same skills when we first met @mmagliaro , you had already finished your masterpieces.  Secondly Shapeways was nt yed created! (I think).

I will be making each component of this kit available for sale separately for that very reason.

PC? What's that? That weird railroad company that butchered the mighty PRR?

Christian and I are hardly PC. Get us out of earshot of the general public and the filter comes off quicker than you can say "safe zone".

The pics below show the locomotive end of the Keystone Details PRR steam locomotive detailing kit.  I left them unpainted for the contrast against the black shell. Safety valves, steam generator, sand dome, whistle, deflector, headlight, headlight bracket, power reverser, and Westinghouse air pump all mounted to a Minitrix boiler shell.



The headlight housing and bracket have wiring passages for magenet wire to the LED of your choice:

Maybe Keystone Details needs to come out with a conduit line replacement next

Do the math, those junction boxes are about 4" X 6" in 1:1. By cntrrast, the safety valves are about the smallest You can print, at about 12" in 1:1.

I was also taking about the stantions that are molded on stock haha!

[Lemosteam]

YOU MONSTER!   

GMM will make you happy and you do a fine job with styrene on the junction boxes.

This detail kit kicks a$$! Nice to see the parts in action.  It's been on the 'to purchase list',  just waiting for the next safeway sale.  Hopefully, something in July.
