One of my projects last week was putting a pair of large air tanks on top of the long hood of my SD27J (rebuilt SD24). The interesting part was coming up with a tgin bit of plastic to make the air line that goes across the hood behind the tanks.
And in a bit of fun earlier today I ripped the diverging rails and points off of a non-functioning turnout and put in a straight piece of rail. Turnout was a Bachmann #5.
A Walthers kit I built and weathered with ground up chalks for cinder/coal dust and rust. I can't find my good camera since I moved, so these are on a camera phone. View attachment 30551 View attachment 30552
Nice stuff Gents, Jay that's a cool shot!
I haven't done a lot of modeling this week but did receive some woodchip cars in the mail.
The weathering was done in powders and not sealed, the whole box was full of dust!
Now I have to get the bubble wrap marks off the cars... yoiks!
