Hi all and Happy Easter.
I have finished the decals and installed the tender boosters. At this time they are ready for weathering. After that comes figures, glass and coal.
I have the head lamps and electrical connections masked off so that I can spray them with some dull coat. As for the lettering, all SH&D steamers get bronze gold Roman writing with engine and class numbers on the cab and ANNA RR ( short for Susquehanna as it is the Susquehanna Hudson & Delaware) on the tenders.
In order to have the new booster truck still pickup power I needed to make a new wiper from some brass wire. It is secured to the truck frame with hot glue.
