Hi all,
First (almost) finished-project-post here with something i have completed recently. It is an ATSF GP35 which i re-numbered and weathered. Luckily i did not need to repaint/re-decal since the factory color and decals look fine to me and matched Microscale's decals which i had (and used for the renumbering).
Weathering was done using oils / enamels / salt weathering and my airbrush. I opted for a very weathered loco, based on some prototype photos of the 1960s and 1970s. I got another 3 Kato GP35 in line which most probably i ll weather less than this.
I still need to add mu hoses, cut levers, lift rings, kadee 158 couplers and change the number board to the correct one (1327).
I hope you like it, thank you very much in advance for your time / replies.
Yannis
