    N Scale B&O M-15k

    I've finished the body modifications and detailing on my N scale version of the 2016 Mini-Kit. For this one I chose to model the car in the lead image from Bob's Photos, and therefore needed to add rivet strips for the early three piece ends and doors. Notice I also shortened the ladders in...
