SJP.MW04 Minniwatha Observation car

SJP.MW04

An On30 interpretation of the Milwaukee Road's Hiawatha "beaver tail" streamliner observation car. It is a almost a direct replacement body shell for the Bachmann On30 parlor car. It and only requires removing the original shell and end rails, then cutting off the rear set of steps flush with the bottom of the chassis. Then attach the new body with 4 screws thru the rectangular openings in chassis that the original body clipped into. I used M2 self-tapping screws, but anything similar will work.

Designed to go with the San Juan Pacific Minniwatha loco (SJP.MW01), combine (SJP.MW02) and coach (SJP.MW03)

NOTE; like all SJP models, the fit between all the parts is tight. It is easier to sand something to fit that try to add material to make up for a loose fit.
