Robert: Just use a very fine tip on an airbrush and dilute the paint in some blue windshield wiper solution in a 1:1 ratio. Have fun.... Stay cool and run steam.....
Thanks for the kind word guys. Bob, like anything, once you get used to it, Z becomes the norm. Heck, it is almost funny but right now N seems huge when I work with it! I'll warn you though, once you start tinkering with Z, it becomes very very addictive!
Joe: I used to have very large HO & O scale layouts (1400' of track each). Now HO loco's look huge and O gauge is gargantuan. I might yet build a small Z scale layout one of these days. Have fun... Stay cool and run steam.....
Another nice example of really well weathered locomotives with the BR41. I'm going to test the weathering on one of my unmodified loco's first, then do mine. -Robert
one easy trick on the mike and pacific is to put some black in the chimmney an use water to let it slide dovn the sides.....good effeckt
She came in the mail yesterday!! Nicer than the pictures! Now I need an undec. MT tank car for my Vanderbuilt tender. Anyone have one for sale or trade?
Kurt, check out TexNrails. www.texnrails.com They have a list of MT cars in Z listed in stock including some tanks. Good prices too. Hit Catalog, then serch by manufacturer.
Joe, had you ordered from Texnrails before? because I did ordered yesterday, (from their web site) and I did not get a reply since, I've send an email today, and no answers, are they long to respond usually? Thanks
Probably tomorrow, as it's a big holiday here, and one of the busiest travel weeks. Tomorrow is the start of the shopping season, so I am sure you will hear from them soon. -Robert
I can’t believe that I completely forgot about thanksgiving, Robert! Thanks for the heads-ups. [ November 25, 2005, 03:13 PM: Message edited by: animek ]
Yes, I have ordered there before, my only complaint is sometimes the web site says something is in stock, and then later it turns out it wasn't. I ordered 10 MT rolling stock and only got 8. Other than that no complaints.
Talkin' about Z-steam, what would AZL's next release be? What about the 4-8-4 Northern? [ November 27, 2005, 05:44 PM: Message edited by: SmolderZ ]
Now that would be the ultimate since just about every road ran that type! By the way, does anyone know what type of metal the drivers on the mikado are made out of?
