Post Body
Enter your post below.
<p>I do some very basic work to all pieces of rolling stock/locomotives prior to placing them into service:</p> <p>Wheels will get a light coating of Apple Barrel Nutmeg Brown if roller bearing equipped, plain bearings get a bit of grimy black.</p> <p>The back side of the outer pair of stock wheelsets and axles get nutmeg brown as well. The inner pair will be completed after resistors are added for detection.</p> <p>Led lighting and decoder installation as applicable.</p> <p>Sergent couplers.</p> <p>Truck sideframes/drivers get a light (or possibly heavy) of rust/dirt/sand color.</p> <p> </p>
