to Big Blue, Paul.

Nice locomotive, but, like the real ones, sad to see it in that state. I'm not familiar with O scale stuff, but it looks good - who's the manufacturer?

Wayne

Paul, welcome here!

Nice to see this picture and all others of your weathered models on Flickr. Good work!
@Wayne, after Paul's description is this a MTH Premier 20-rail UP Challenger.

Paul:
Welcome aboard!!
I agree, That's nice work!!

Thanks for sharing and we look forward to more pictures of your work.

thank you!

I have still 9 steam loco's to weather and will post some pics when ready.

Paul

Welcome , Paul , nice work ...maybe you can school us on your methods ?!

hi Terry,

you're not the first one who asks this

There is not much to explain. It's all done by airbrush with different needles with different thickness. Everything is very much thinned and slowly built up layer after layer. It takes quite a time and it's all done with good pics of a reall locomotive that was in that condition.

Nice "chuff "

Good work!

I wish my H0 Challenger would be as far as your Challenger in finish and weathering.
