Welcome 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?

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.

hi Terry,

you're not the first one who asks this Icon_lol

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.
