About this Weekly Special
This page shows the starting point of a “build-along clinic” that Bob Harpe conducted over the SMRF (Southeastern Model Railroaders Forum) e-mail list in 2003. Members followed along as Bob documented each step of building a Southern Railway “Tuxedo” GP7 from a Proto 2000 model. The clinic itself unfolded through e-mail discussion and is no longer available online, but this page captures the introduction and the prototype photo that launched it.
Bob later applied his same careful, step-by-step approach to other projects on the list. For a taste of his clinic style, see his Southern Railway Caboose clinic (PDF), in which he walks through converting a Wright Track kit into a finished Southern caboose.
