Here is what I managed to finish this week! Intermaountain Railway 40' PS1 Boxcar Kit with the 8' PS Door, Replaced the plastic sill steps with A-line Sill Steps, painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Mask Island Decals. Atlas ACF 3560CF Covered Hopper Kit, removed the cast on Roofwalk, stiffening rib (ICG cars did not have it), and walkover platforms. Replaced the roofwalk with a Plano etched metal roofwalk and also the walkover platforms. Painted the car with Scalecoat II MofW Gray and lettered with Daniel Kohlbergs ICG Decals. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
Candy, I hope she is not someone's waif, because if so, I'm eager to escort her to our local shelter. Otherwise, I hope her bus comes soon. I say no more regards your skills.
I decided to work on some weathering once again, while I muster up the whatever it is to hardwire a couple of LifeLike SW8/9/1200's . Here are 3 Southdown cement hoppers, using Weathering Solutions decals and a couple layers of wash. These are also my entry for March Weathering Madness. 20160326_184104 by Adam Henry, on Flickr 20160326_172015 by Adam Henry, on Flickr And here is a Cargill grain hopper. Graffiti and seams are hand done with pens, finished with a wash also. 20160326_171751 by Adam Henry, on Flickr It's a little off from prototype picture I found, but I say good enough from 3'. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2391546
My friend Joseph Larson used his 3D printer to print the 67 for my D&RGW Baldwin VO660. They are a little bigger than the prototype, but any smaller and they are too fragile. But it's better than having nothing on the front at all...
