STEP 1: Laying out the parts
1: I like the pinstripe paint scheme, so I chose one for
this article. The same steps are used on ATSF 5386, the
yellow bonnet unit. I laid out all of the parts that come
with the unit. The number on the bag of parts is 75106.
The little pile under the Athearn pocket covers is bits of
metal left over from the stanchions. These can be used
for scenery. It's a cardinal rule of model railroading,
never throw anything away.

1a: We will not use
the horns, coupler
pocket covers, and
the couplers.
Be
aware there are
different length
stanchions to be
used. Always make
sure you have the
parts you will need
to complete the
project.
