Roundhouse 0-6-0 vs DCC/Sound

[sailormatlac]

Here's a few pictures of the painted model. Paint is Citadel acrylic (yeah, not what you would think to use when doing model railroading!). It dry fast and can be easily thinned down with alcohol and water...

The first picture show it before the Dullcote. The firebox looked nice...



And after Dullcoating, you can't barely see the color difference now!





Anyway, I had to protect the acrylic paint and decals. I'll repaint the firebox again and let if flat. Cab and tender side will receive a coat of semi-gloss to fit prototype picture of actual engine.

Here's the 0-6-0 beside my out of service P2K 0-8-0 (wish it could run again, it was a fantastic slow running locomotive when I got it back then).



Weathering will be done using oil paints, pastel chalk and a little bit of acrylic. I'll try to get a look like this one:
