Repainting my LGB mogul
Posted by Graffen on Monday, July 1, 2019 5:50 PM

Hi all, I started the repaint and fixing up of my mogul.

 

The first step was a thorough cleaning with automotive pre-prep.

 

Then, after masking the windows and some of the texts, I removed most of the factory texts and numbers, I airbrush painted with Model Master acrylic paint "engine black" and "Grimy black".

The wood got some "Rail tie brown".

 

The tender texts are Woodland scenics dry transfers.

 

I used one of my custom printed decals as well.

 

The cab sides got the numbers transfered with a pencil.

 

I then brush painted the numbers with white acrylic paint.

 

Now some weathering left to do.
