ALCO from ALCO or another 0-8-0

Do'nt touch until it smells:


So it may rest here for the next week until the paint is complete dry.
That was the very last of my old school paint i used here for the 0-8-0. And i had to put a lot of thinner into it to get a smooth surface so it will last a while until it is dry.

@Bernd
Yes i know, i cannot reach to the level of your skills. This was an first attempt for me to do so.
And what i mean: In this specific special case for an H0 brass loco tender the brake gear can be build in a rigid manner and all parts soldered together. This will fit with the style and level of details of the rest of this loco model.


This will be one of the next projects. In this case the brass loco manufacturer has mounted a well detailed brake gear out of lost wax casting. Here i missed only the pedestals for the safety bow, the connecting rods to the trucks and the air lines.
On the tender of the 0-8-0 was nothing such else, only a misplaced brake cylinder without any connections. I had to do something and i made a try with building this brake rigging out of scratch.
