Is this a coal or oil tender? <br />[img]http://www.holodeckbbs.com/images/michael/train.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by 4884bigboy</i><br />As for the coal, you may want to paint it glossy black. Also, for painting model trains, most modelers use air brushes. These can be found at Home Depot or your hobby shop. I suppose you could brush paint your coal, though it may not turn out as nice as it would with an air brush.[/quote] <br />Can airbrush do fine detail work? Looking at that square would I keep paint off of the sides in the square? <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by 4884bigboy</i><br />Here's another method you could use for your coal. Many companys sell HO scale coal, real coal crushed in HO size. This stuff look very realistic. It's as simple as putting some glue on your coal, then sprinkling the scale coal on top of it. <br /> <br />Jonathon <br />[/quote] <br />This sounds like the best idea! Thanks again! <br />
