Thanks. It's just an old, original run Proto that I modified the windshields on and threw some grab irons on. It was a quicky I did about 6 years ago to pull my Twin Cities Zephyr at a train show.
Wow it's been a LONNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time since I posted anything here. Well, to make a very long story short, here's my excuse: Junior year of high school.
Anyways, I've found some time to do some modeling, and a lot of trial and error and bing.com mapping and google earthing, and I have some plans now. and they're explained in this video
Also, I finally repainted my C420. Now, the white is handpainted Testors enamel and the red is Chevy Flame Red Lacquer from model master (my airbrushes are all poc and out of commision ). Also, Hobby Lobby is about the only place I can get any hobby paint.
Decals and handrails to be added at a later date (handrails are soaking in iso alcohol, decals will be added when the name and number are finalized).
Some good shots, good to see other people at work as well

Yessir! I'm absolutely ecstatic for this upcoming season; it should be a great one! and nope, and I don't play rugby either, too many shoulder injuries and too busy.
I jut got this far on the diorama, so I think i'll post it. In addition to the C420, I started this photo diorama to take pics outside and also practice some scenery for the next layout.
I started with this foam:
Then shaped it to this:
And then added sculptamold:
The exposed foam on the left will have a styrene retaining wall.

Sawyer, if your airbrush is plugged up inside, take it apart, put the parts in a jar and let it soak in laquer thinner (no plastic parts in the jar ) for a day or two. Dry and try it again. Also, your needle and tip may be worn resulting in poor spray patterns - replace them. If you use a Badger air brush, they have an excellent free repair service.http://www.badgerairbrush.com/Service-Supprt.asp
A couple of years ago, my air brush just would not work, no matter how I tried to clean it and replace parts. I sent it in to them, with a description of the problem and what I had done to try fixing it. They returned it in a few weeks good as new. There was some paint way inside that I colud not get to; but their experts knew where to look.

I have a harbor freight double action that I took a screw out of trying to fix it...I couldn't really figure out how to fine-tune it and get the paint flowing right. I also have a Paasche that I've done the soaking with, and it won't reassemble that well. However, my best airbrush had to be my Badger model 250. I just haven't managed to get it going back the same since spraying some model master lacquer through it. Thanks for the link, I'll see if I can get the parts together and contact them.
I added a white wash (thinned Polly-Scale reefer white with 70% alcohol) to the trestle, got the nut-bolt-washer castings in place, and assembled the railings for the fire deck.
