I've been given a Brass GMD-1 to paint in Canadian National

   

Dissassembly is pretty easy, just 4 screws. The handrails and everything else is soldered together so the model has ro be painted as is.

   

I gave the body a quick scuff with some fine scotch bright and wiped it down with some isopropyl alcohol. I masked the drive parts before spraying with primer
   

I used some Tamiya metal primer and am now waiting for it to cure before painting the color.

i use to use talc but since the law suit it's hard to find if anyone has a suggestion it would be helpful.

was packing things up as in couple of weeks were going to have a project in garage so i was putting away rolling stack and engines out of harm's way and found I have 22 cabooses of 12 different roads and was wondering how many you have.

I got this a few months ago posted in 'upper berth' wondering what it was:

   

After finding out what it was I searched online to see if anyone had every painted/finished one but came up empty.
I decided just to paint and weather it as I figured it would have been:

   

I semi dry-brushed barn red onto the body, then painted the tarpaper patches with a grey-black. The windows were done in vintage white. I used three different tamiya wood colors on the boards.

   

I then used Tamiya's 'panel liner' in both black and brown as a wash to go between the boards and siding and add some depth.

Hi everyone, I thought that I would share with you my newest build, another kit from "Fine Scale Miniatures".
The Chippy Hollow Hardware Co. However I changed my version of this kit into a tribute to the late great model railroader John Allen.
So the place is now called the John Allen monuments & statuary Co.
Here's how it came out looking.

   

   

   

I also added LED lighting to this structure, so here is how it looks at night.

   

Thanks for having a look!

December already!  The recent Conrail patch job on the former Reading GP30 is on full display traveling high over the Lehigh teamed with a PC version and an EL RS2.

   

Just want to report that I have been in contact with Wayne and he is OK , but his memory is failing. I talked to his wife tonight and she was saying that she thought if someone with modeling interests were to visit  it might help get him back to modeling. 
If anyone knows someone in the Hamilton/Grimsby area that has some time to spend with a great guy let me know. I have not heard from Nutbar for a while and hope he is OK too.  
I am 250 miles away and not able to be there like I would like to be.
