[polekat62]

Hi everybody, i am new to this board.   I recently aquired a new Bachmann shay and Wow is it neat.I would like to add a details and was wondering about the tool boxs and siphon hose? Are they to be painted or left  black, and any other ideas.                                   Thanks

I painted mine a "Rust" color.  I put one on the tender, and the other one on the shelf-side of the boiler.  I put a few sacks and barrels of "Lubricants" with the tool box on the tender.  YES this is a great Engine!!  I will buy the Sound/DCC unit when it comes out!!
