Looks fantastic.

So, let get this outside ready for weathering and to be finish. Here's how I made the channels for the Tichy Trains Group doors for this building using evergreen styrene strips. SORRY FOR THE BAD VIDEOGRAPHY IM ALSO LEARN HOW TO USE THIS NEW EDITING PROGRAM.

I buy alot from here cause they almost alway beat everyone's price https://www.trainworld.com/walthers-920-42177-ho-emd-gp35-loksound-5-sound-dcc-santa-fe-3359.html The are solid engines.

This one was really tricky. Here we go and do an install of a Soundtraxx MC1H102P8 Plug& Play decoder that wasn't quite plug and play but we got r done.

OK guys I told you I'd show you the good the bad and the ugly. Well, here's how I installed the Digitrax SDXH167D sound decoder in my 20-year-old PROTO 2000 SD-9 that I pulled out of the Bachmann Spectrum N&W J that I could not get the sound file to load correctly. This was a simple, quick and...

Of course, I need an interior—why make things easier for myself, right? LOL! I'm fond of these Walther kits, but some parts don't quite hit the mark aesthetically. So, let's get to kitbashing and spruce it up a bit. Those Tichy train group parts are just fantastic.

While we're waiting for the 3D parts to arrive, let's move on with the next structure. This kit contains two buildings, so we'll focus on fully assembling the first one before starting on the second.

Looking good so far.

NOW FOR THE MOST EXCITING PART OF MODEL RAILROADING I REALY HAD A BALLAST!

looking good

No I learned by watching Boomer Diorama, SoCal Scale Models, and The Bennet Model Railroad I found the use washes worked best for me. I like Tamiya panel liner and Vallejo washes.

Thanks guys it looks like it a little of both. I clear glossed the last side and applied the Micro-Sol to the model then slid the decal on and coat it generously with the Micro-Sol and it pulled down much better not perfect but 100 times better and of courses it the side you don't see. 🤦‍♂️...

What type of paint did you use? I would do a pin wash on the panel lines and the door to make them pop a little more. It looks good.

I have a Bachmann N&W J 4-8-4 and it would pull it sat for 20 years and it sits so low it is pretty much useless Ill be tearing it down to see what happen. it never had traction tires. I saw a vide where they change out the springs that support the drivers the guy tried 3 different springs and...

WOW! that is so screwed up.
