That's why you get the two thumbs up. I'm lazy, and would have just wiped the Coke logo off with a Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover, then sprayed it with flat and weathered it a little. You took it to a whole 'nuther level with that gray. Talk about transformation!

Say! That's some nice work right there. You really outdid yourself on that one. Wowzer!!! Mighty fine! Boy, you throw a black wash on those chrome spoke wheels and I'm convinced it's REAL!
Not , but !!!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Thanks, David, it sure looks suitably weedy. JimA and Kurt, it runs pretty well so far. I have to fiddle with it a bit more. Pressing down the slider toward the track worked. Since I took off the front truck, I love how it whips through the curves. I think it is still a little too light - enough for this motor to move though...
Hi Doug. I'm actually now modelling an abandoned RR as I've been going on a writing project and have left MOW duties fall by the wayside (so to speak).
Nice work Doug! Looks great!
Did you find out the cause of the Zeppelin studdering?

Hi Doug,
I am not sure on it. The G gauge layout was on loan to us for just the one day.
I am a person with a very active inner child. This is why my wife loves me so. Willoughby, Ohio - the home of the CP & E RR. OTTS Founder www.spankybird.shutterfly.com

Raymans, I really dig that fruit and plants, ingenious!

LOL Ray! Yours looks much better. Probably won't be the last idea I pilfer from you.
Great job!
OK Spankybird, I thought I was the only San Francisco 49er fan in this forum!! GO NINERS
Just back from church, hayrides, horsey rides, and apple picking. Now off to paint the bedroom trim...
Great photos, Laz! Love that new steamer!
Frank's new industry came out great. Another step towards that magazine feature.
Here's a few for Doug M. to keep his interest in Thomas up.
He seems to be in awe of what's beside him. I don't blame him. They are in super great shape, and run silky smooth on our FasTrack. Please note that I finally glued the missing porthole back on.
Here's a hopper I just re-painted as B&M
It's sitting on some shelves I made a few months back. Here's a blurry photo or two of them.
And here is what you see as you walk down the stairs into our train room.
