Great pics, everyone!

John, a how-to photo thread would be awesome! I have a few older Kato Dash 9's that I hide because they don't have numbers

Thanks in advance!

It's not perfect, and I'm not a great craftsman, the plastic handrails are too big, but it was the best I could do at the time. I learned a lot from this project, there's a few mistakes like the handrails that I won't make on the next one. So here's my MLW RS18 from an old LifeLike RS11 shell and an Athearn GP7 drive and chassis. It's almost finished. I have to put the hoses, headlight lenses and some black and some rust paint coloring for the wheels and trucks, maybe this evening I'll get it finished. After that it's the GP18. Just click on the thumbnails for the big picture.

Cheers Willis

 

They look fine to me. If we required 'perfect' we'd have no one to post photos here! Learning from the project is the idea.

I like the paint scheme. Custom decals??

Russell:

Is that a rail yard in the upper right corner of the photo? Looks pretty large.

 

OK, I will take step-by-step photos when I do the next set of GP30 numberboards. Don't know exactly when that will be completed, but it's on the 'schedule' now! (smile)
