It&#8217;s not so simple, though, as none of the manufacturers of model trains has the boxcab in its catalog. Fortunately, there&#8217;s a N scale sized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/product\/XULG8X9JW\/n-scale-cnj-1000\">3D printed CNJ 1000 boxcab<\/a> available on&nbsp;ShapeWays. I immediately ordered the kit when I found out, and I also ordered the&nbsp;Bandai N scale power chassis 3 for which the boxcab under frame was designed. I was very disappointed when I&nbsp;tested the power chassis. I realized that a model based on that chassis might look good, but given its weak motor it would never be able to operate on that layout. A layout with lots of switches and tight radii. I decided to put it away and deal with it when&nbsp;I would have more time for rolling stock.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks later I came across the Bachmann 44 ton&nbsp;switcher that looked small enough to serve as a motorized platform for&nbsp;my CNJ #1000 body. A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spookshow.net\/loco\/bach44ton.html\">review of the locomotive<\/a> was extremely positive so I ordered one for a good price.&nbsp;It even had a built-in DCC decoder! It didn&#8217;t take me long to figure out that, indeed, with some fine-tuning, I could use the chassis for the boxcab.<\/p>\n<h1>Building CNJ #1000<\/h1>\n<p>One of those&nbsp;rainy weekends I decided to build my CNJ #1000:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I completely removed the T44 body from the chassis, including the black cap that sits on the PC&nbsp;board in the middle.<\/li>\n<li>I milled off enough (less than 1 millimeter) of the die cast under frame on both ends of the T44 so that the boxcab under frame would fit perfectly. Using halves of a half-inch long and 1\/8&#8243; thick wooden dowel, I glued&nbsp;two fuel tanks to the sides of the under frame.<\/li>\n<li>With a fine-grained nail file, I sanded&nbsp;the sides of the bodies. I had to take care of not damaging the fine structures such as window and door frames.<\/li>\n<li>Then I airbrushed the shell and the other pieces with Vallejo acrylic surface primer. Once the paint was dry,&nbsp;I added rows of rivets on the body as per the prototype. The next step was to airbrush the shell, the radiators and the under frame&nbsp;in CNJ&#8217;s Seafoam Green (or what I believed would be like it). Although it&#8217;s supposed to be a relatively dark green, it turned out too dark. I&#8217;ll fix that later with weathering.<\/li>\n<li>Using Microscale&nbsp;decals, I added the Liberty herald on both sides as well as the road number. Road numbers can also be found on both ends of the loco. Inside the shell I inserted a single piece of clear PVC that I bent into shape to fit exactly the body. Now my boxcab&nbsp;has proper window glass.<\/li>\n<li>To&nbsp;protect decals and paint I finished the coating with Microscale Micro Satin using the airbrush.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id='gallery-1'
