Aristo 0-4-0 paint job

[DieCastoms]

Hi!

Found this forum while looking for resources for painting my Aristo 0-4-0. I hadn't meant to do a thread but finding this forum, now I think I will.

Check out this link for an old but awesome 0-4-0 Mantua build, with LOTS of extra details!

Here is how mine came to me, off Evilbay, and with no other accessories. If I remember right, I paid $45.


This is my goal, a loco sitting at Pennsylvania Railroad Museum, Strasburg PA.:


I took it apart and started painting. Here's after some flat black:


I painted the front grey, but I didn't get it dark enough:


I just laid some new darker grey on but have not taken new pictures yet. I will soon, and will do some details on the backhead, and then will update this.

Hope you enjoyed.
