Models and Kitbashes by NightOwlModeler. Monday, September 12, 2016. SP 60-C-5s, (Part 1) SP 1005. In this series of posts, I'm working on some Soho 60-C-5 coaches. The first two are both the same class, yet quite different cars as examples of what happened to SP and T&NO's large fleet of 60 foot coaches over the years. Both the SP 1005 and the T&NO 777 are based on the Soho model of a 60-C-10. SP 1005, 60-C-5 Chair. SP 1005 with window shades and replaced roof vents. Modeling the SP 1005. I started this...

http://nightowlmodeler.blogspot.com/2017/01/kitbashing-16-section-sleeper-part-1.html
Models and Kitbashes by NightOwlModeler. Tuesday, January 3, 2017. Kitbashing a 16-Section Sleeper (Part 1) Plan 2412T&U. Many models of the more common Pullman HW sleepers have been made in the last 10 or so years. One that I feel that they missed, which shows up in many consists and photos, is the 16-Section HW Pullman Sleeper. One of my main interests in building a couple of 16-Section sleepers was two fold. One reason was to fill out an earlier era consist of the Owl. History of 16-Section Sleepers.

Models and Kitbashes by NightOwlModeler. Friday, January 6, 2017. SP 60-C-5s, (Part 2) T&NO 777 Coach. In the second part of this series, I'll be focusing on the T&NO 777, also a 60-C-5, the same as in 60-C-5 (Part 1), SP 1005. Because this is basically showing an alternate car of the same class, I will only be touching on the points that differ in this build than on the SP 1005. T&NO 777 with trucks installed. Modeling the T&NO 777. In which I'd painted the body, decalled, and put the glass in the windo...

http://nightowlmodeler.blogspot.com/2016/09/modeling-sp-2701-60-cc-1-from-model.html
Models and Kitbashes by NightOwlModeler. Friday, September 2, 2016. Modeling SP 2701, a 60-CC-1, from a Model Power coach (Part 1). Model Power many years ago produced a "Harriman" 67ft Coach with arch-roof. These cars are still a good stand-in for several classes of cars. I'll be covering the options of how to use the MP Coach as a stand-in for both the SP's 60-CC-1 Chairs and 60-C-3/4 Coach class cars. Here's a cheap Ebay grab for more MDC kitbashing fodder! I usually cut them up for other projects.
