Eggliner.....Well, that answers that question!
I was beginning to think you had R-two-C-twopeeo-D zip, back there as an RC helper........or possibly a battery operated pencil sharpener.
Yes Mikey, I'm on my way to my room now.

Well - they turned out a bit "nicer" than I expected....
The 2 white "frames" are from the white gondola. I have a bit of sanding to do before i paint and weather them...Re: N~Gauger's 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - Sumpter250 - 02-26-2010
This is getting interesting! Can't wait to see the finished product.
Reminds me that I have to get around to building the A-B-A "Hustlers", and a string of "Pikers", and an "Oscar".

They've RUSTED!!!! They're ALL Brown!!!!!
the base coat is ON!!!!!!!
Re: N~Gauger's 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - ngauger - 03-13-2010
and don't forget the trucks
Re: N~Gauger's 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - Gary S - 03-13-2010
This is coming along nicely. So the two cars will be permanently coupled together with a "draw bar" and the couplers on the trucks will stick out at each end?

Gary S Wrote:This is coming along nicely. So the two cars will be permanently coupled together with a "draw bar" and the couplers on the trucks will stick out at each end?Yeah - as long as the 'screws" hold hehehehe
but I'll have to put a swivel in the draw bar for my 48" curves
but yes - permanently coupled

You fooled me! :oops:
A swivel in the drawbar :?: as short as those cars are, if a drawbar was the length of what couplers would be you shouldn't need a swivel.......especially on 48" radius.. I'm :? :?

Too Funny!!!
Thanks!!!!
Re: N~Gauger's 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - nachoman - 03-13-2010
Whoa! what did you do to those trucks!?
Re: N~Gauger's 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - TrainNut - 03-13-2010
That's what I was jest wonderin' as well.
Re: N~Gauger's 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - ngauger - 03-13-2010
it's "Stone" craft paint - makes it look like it's dirty "beat up" gray
Re: N~Gauger's 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - Sumpter250 - 03-14-2010
"Stone" craft paint.......I just have to remember that this is G scale.
One of the interesting, yet difficult things here is that there hasn't been a whole lot of "the usual" shown in G scale............a G scale grain of sand, is a Z scale mountain.
Weathering, and detailing is going to be very interesting, done in so large a scale. This may prove to be one of the most enlightening projects in the challenge.
