New Paint!
Posted by cheese3 on Saturday, June 25, 2005 2:30 PM
Well in my new bright 4-4-0 post I said I was going to do some painting. I have manageed to get my scientific toys 2-6-0 finished and I am still working on the new Bright. Here is a pic of the 2-6-0



It looks much better now. Before it was this hideous green color.[:0]

Here are some images of my Scientific Locos. Was yours a "Silvernite Express" or a "Coastal Express..."

Ah, the remote controlled one I have been looking for. I have the Silverado Express, it has to be manual started.

I have also modified the couples to take Bachmann ones. I am later going to replace the trucks on the tender to LGB or Bachmann ones.

Hey Bman,

These little "Sow's Ears" as I call them, have been an excellent place to try out my skill guilt free. I watch for them on e-bay and try not to pay very much for them. My next experiment with them will be to kitbash...inspiration from what th blokes in the Scratchbuilding and Kitbashing forum are up too.

I still need to send you that CD I promised you a while back. Please resend your address to my e-mail and I'll have t out by the end of the week.

Thanks,

Capt Carrales

There's an old saying" Powder and paint, make woman and ships(and trains) look like what they ain't!"
