The Kasia Michon is a a passenger car I built for my HO scale 30" gauge logging and mining railroad. First, the real Kasia Michon, my daughter in-law. I started with a standard gauge Roundhouse Pullman Palace Observation car, and then proceeded to cut it in a million pieces.
 |
| This is the standard gauge car, as it started out, before all the cutting. |
 |
| And now the cutting starts. |
 |
| Viewing the side, the middle piece is what was discarded. |
 |
| I wanted to detail the interior, and I could not find benches like I wanted to use, so I made them using shapeways.com. First I drew the benches using SketchUp, scaled them to 1/87.1, and uploaded them to shapeways.com. They printed them, and shipped them to me |
 |
| Here at the benches, painted and installed. |
 |
| The colors were chosen by Kasia Michon, colors she can see. I think the pictures might actually be better than the model. |
 |
| The restroom walls are scratch built using styrene, the floor is printed on photo paper. The fixtures, are from Red Cap Line. |
I have to update this more often, as I have many entries worth of material.
