Kahn's Car Update... Cocoa Beach 2007 project
Greg Martin
Hey Yuze Gize,
Just a couple of updated regarding the Kahn's Car Project from Cocoa Beach 2007. 1) The cars with 6-inch sills were car that were 12'-2" tall to the exterior eves. The cars with the 8-inch sill were cars that were 12'-7" tall to the exterior eves and were built in 1929. So for those who want to use the kit instructions to represent the FGEX or WFEX cars that ACCURAIL offers pre-painted just follow the directions in the kit as if you were building the Kahn's car. 2) In my instructions I recommend that you touch up the paint on the Kahn's car with Reefer Yellow and that would be wrong as it is to Yellow as Bill Welch points out. I found a great nearly exact match by mixing 50% Reefer Yellow with 50% SP Daylight Orange. The match even caught me by surprise. 3) Remember the brake equipment placement in the article is correct for this car and it differs significantly from the data in the Sunshine kit. My car is done except for the weathering. I will try to post photos of the car this weekend and I also have photos of all the KCS cars added to the photo folder as well. Bill McCoy email me off list I have more data for you and I have lost your email address... More to follow regarding this years project car...
