 Hi everybody, welcome to Notch 8 on Train Masters TV, a brand new series in which we're going to notch out your modeling to the max. We're going to show you great techniques for improving your diesels, improving your freight cars, you name it, it's going to be right here. Our first guest on the show is Ephraim Ellenbogen and you may not know the name but you definitely have seen his work. He was featured in the January 2015 RMC. Ephraim, welcome to the show. Great to have you here. Thanks for having me in the studio. What are we going to do today? Well we're going to start working on an old love of mine. This is something I built back in probably my college days, so 10 plus years ago and I want to bring it up to the level of detail I'm able to do in my models now without destroying the original character of it because I, you know, I have a lot of emotional attachment to it so I don't want to strip it. Yeah, exactly. So what we're going to do is we're going to cover upgrading the chassis, we're going to put an overland chassis on there. We're going to upgrade the fans so that they're see-through and you can see the blades. It's a very prominent feature on a model train. We're also going to upgrade the handrails. We're going to go from old atherin stanchions and steel wire to smoky valley stanchions and brass wire. And then last but not least, we're going to show you how to weather it just to tie it all back into the original effect. Nice. Now we're going to be doing this over the course of several segments so you'll be able to watch and see how this locomotive evolves from what it is now to what it can be.
