Jim - What did you use for the black wash?
Lisa
Hi Lisa,
I used ordinary craft store acryllic paint (black) diluted with water. Dilute it with rubbing alchohol and it will dry much faster.

Cause the Yanks stole all your good horses. Actually NC was a big horse race state before that war. Took all the horses in NC to furnish the great Army of the Confederacy. This is true history. We also gave more men to that war than any other Southern state.

I use a soft, white flannel for polishing. Much softer than a diaper. Behind the 2343 is a former blue K-Line Conrail car that I painted orange last week. I'll make some decals and turn it into a 6464-725 clone. I like the all black logo motif on the 6464-725 better than the black and white of the real cars.

Same lack of layout on my part too, so here's my contribution...
My (mostly) pre-war streamlined "fleet":
Left-to-Right - Lionel 1689, Lionel 1668 (my first "train collector" purchase waaayyy back in 1980 or so - I was 13!), Lionel 1688, Lionel 221 (post-war) and American Flyer 556 (3/16 scale/O gauge)
