    Cool Gatto Passenger Train Car

    Got started on the Gatto passenger car that should fill out that train set.
    I built the Reading train a while back and then bought the Gatto plan set that goes along with it for the cars.
    This is Plan#29
    I almost didn’t build it because it’s so long and with the other cars and Train will really be a long one for sure.

    I clamped down a board so as I held the super glued side to the base nothing would move and could get even pressure.

    There are 26 chairs to make yuck!!! LOL

    I put Danish oil on the seats as once the roof is on it ain’t going to get done.

    Then on with the roof.


    I cut the last angle for the roof and glues it on but just needed a little more work so took it to te table saw and did a job on my nerves cutting it, but that got it close enough to sand it to right.



    This is going to be one long car!!!
    This was done over many short days.

    I need to figure out a place 7" long and then get the right angle for it to show up right.

    Beautiful Bruce, The train is now complete ...

    Once you work out a displace location will you do a set of tracks?

    Cheers, Peter
