doctorwayne's New Years Resolution Challenge...

[doctorwayne]

Thanks, Matt. The cars still aren't finished, as I've been away and also doing other outdoor-type stuff. It's not really practical to bother airbrushing just to weather these 8 cars, but I have a bunch of other projects currently underway, including rebuilding four locomotives, along with a partial re-paint of a fifth, painting some passenger cars, and converting a bunch of other ones into wooden baggage cars. Most of that work is for others, but I'm also trying to prepare some rolling stock for lettering in hopes that the LS&W decals will show up soon. Somewhere within that work, the cars will get weathered and be put into service. Pictures to follow, of course, probably of all of that stuff as it's completed.

I'd like if you could tell us the secret behind the 36-hour day! ;-) I'm curious to see the LS&W cars, your brother did a neat job with the decals.

I wish I had 36 hour days, Matt. Either that or learn to work as fast as Charlie or Gary - maybe I could sub-contract some of the work to them.
I'm looking forward to doing the LS&W cars, but have received only 6 of the necessary 15 cars, and, of course, am still waiting for the decals.

Finally finished!
I had an opportunity a couple of days ago to add a little final weathering to all eight cars, and now consider them to officially be "in-service".

Thanks guys. Now I can get back to all those other jobs cluttering-up the workshop.
