I am finally finished with my brass K-27 in HOn3

[Graffen]

My brass Sunset models K-27 is finished.

This has been a long road....

First I had to sort out the power pickups, and added phosphor bronze wipers.

Then I replaced the worm with a new one from NWSL.

The next was installation of a Econami decoder with stay alive and dual speakers.

The worst problem was that the drive wheels were out of gauge (and so was the tender wheels...).

I corrected that, and finally I could paint it!

I used Scalecote 1 engine black and baked it in the oven.

Then I painted the details with water based paint and a brush.

The decals are from San Juan, and it was a quick job to apply them.

The weathering is a mix of various water based paints except for the rods and valve gear which got some MIG engine oil wash (oil based).

Now I just have to add some details, such as cab curtains, water bags and such and crushed coal in the tender.
