Thanks for kicking-off WPF, Kevin. Everything looks great!

I stripped off the paint trying a new method which did not work out well.
I recently stripped paint off a Kadee PS-1 using "SuperClean" and I'm really impressed with how well that stuff works for paint stripping.
Great scene, Garry. I like football specials, too. I was always interested in the specials that the PRR ran to the Army-Navy game near Philly. Sometimes over twenty trains were operated!
Excellent work on the roundhouse, Mike
— a very neat job on the wiring and the "traditional" green enamel lamp shades look perfect!

Garry I wasn’t into heavy weight cars until recently, I saw a YouTube video with a SP Cab Forward towing a heavy weight passenger (SP Lark) between Bakersfield and LA and that got me going.
Hi, Mel. One of the reasons you see the cars below that I'm working on is that these are "modernized" heavyweights. I wish more manufacturers would produce some of these "betterment" cars. Many railroads, and Pullman, too, would rebuild cars with air conditioning and newer windows.
First — some "old news", the DL&W tower has a tile roof and the beginnings of the concrete color. I wasn't sure of that color as the instructions only say to paint it green. Most of the tile roofs I've seen are terra cotta color.

There is still one of these towers standing in Scranton, Pa. near Steamtown. Sure enough, the roof is green. The tiles must be glazed.

This week I was busy in the paint shop with some brass passenger cars that have been awaiting completion for far too long!

This combine was the most recent addition to the roster. I found it on Ebay for a pretty reasonable price. I like combines and there aren't too many available in HO.

Here's my modernized NKP diner-lounge. (don't tell anyone but it is actually a model of an Erie diner, but sure close enough, for me) Both the blue and white were mixed by eye. The white has just a drop or two of black in it to tone it down a bit. Scalecoad doesn't have an NKP blue that I'm aware of. This is B&O Royal blue with a bit of white added.
Here's the look I'm after:

NKP had one car that was very close to the one I'm doing with window spacing closer to what my model has rather than the one in the photo above.

Here's a pair of Erie 1000 series coaches, also modernized heavyweights. I have a lot of decal work ahead of me. I really dislike doing the stripes 
On to more great stuff, folks!
Cheers, Ed
