Hopefully, someone in this group has experience or better yet copy of better instructions.
?
I have finally taken on the task of changing to the N scale of Nevada retro frame for an "old" Atlas Pacific. (one of many postponed projects)? I've got (AFAIK) the only instructions that John Coots sent out BUT...
?
they are either incomplete OR missing some (important) instructions! Hopefully someone has done one of these and hopefully might be able to help me.
?
Right now I's trying to fit the retro into the boiler shell.
A bit of filing the retro starts letting it descend into the shell.
But (to start) ... the instructions do not mention cutting out the lower section of the cab shell (the back) nor how much to remove or change AFTER removing the light bulb up front.
?
I hope someone decades ago went through this process and can help. This one is a puzzle! I'd rather not wish I hadn't started.
?
If I had it to do over again... I'd contact John and offer to get advice AND OFFER to write a good instruction sheet.?
?
Any help GREATLY APPRECIATED.
