Lightweight 10-5 sleeper, Canadian National “Chaleur Bay” (CN 2024).  This model utilizes the Athabasca Models brass car sides for the Canadian National “Bay” series sleeper and the American Limited core kit and outside swing hanger trucks.  I started by scribing the roof to simulate the welded panels before adding the standard vents, along with stainless steel grab irons and a top vent formed from styrene.  The molded grab irons on the end were shaved and replaced with stainless steel grab irons. All of the components were painted prior to final assembly.  The sides were painted and decaled before using a permanent marker to highlight the window frames in silver.  Real glass was tinted with transparent blue-green enamel on the back side and attached to the car sides with Micro-Scale Kristal Klear, followed by paper drapes over the bedroom windows and a stainless steel handrail over the hallway windows.  The rain drip guides were added over the vestibule doors as well as stainless steel grab irons.  The Athabasca end doors painted silver were substituted for the standard American Limited doors, and a new interior vestibule wall was fabricated from styrene and painted silver.  The underframe detail was added and the diaphragm strike plates were modified to match the prototype.  Micro-Trains couplers were body mounted to the floor.  Weight was added to the floor top, along with a basic tan-painted interior to eliminate the see-through effect. This sleeper is assigned to the Montrealer/Washingtonian consist.
