I don't know, I kind of like the road name and livery.

Well and thats okay
but for me it does not fit. after the rebuild and repaint this little worker will work for the L&N.

just so you all know

your looking at my repainting detailing and dcc conversing project :-O
lets see how it ends...

I need to get better with Arcylic first before I try oils.

Check out water soluble oils. A bit less messy, more forgiving and easier cleanups.

Brown car so the details get hidden a bit. The powders blended everything a little too much as a lot of the individual scratches get lost somewhat, direct sunlight might be contibuting too. The lettering is still a bit bright, not sure what to do about that... maybe I should've faded with the base color instead of just white. Might try that on the BN and CN cars in queue. I tried to do more of a defined kickup on the front and back bulkheads too but I think I need to make a mask or stencil since it kinda went everywhere even with the airbrush close. Was debating getting some styrene and adding a COTS panel still. Other than the underbody details that seems to be the biggest difference between the Roundhouse and the insanely priced Rapido cars.

Critiques appreciated as always. I tried to be gentler on this one vs my previous ones.

Looks good and I consider the brown color cars to be tough to weather. Get them faded enough and then add the weathering is what I try to do
