I picked up a used brass Key Rio Grande M-64 4-8-4 at the Roseville train show last weekend, got it home and found out that it had been custom-painted to the very same locomotive number (#1711) as an M-64 I bought several years ago from Caboose Hobbies.  So here are my two #1711's on Bullard's Bar bridge.  The first one is the newer one.  The second will be re-numbered as soon as I can find my Microscale decal sheet. Embarrassed

Is the weekend yet?  I can always tell when it is because my favorite thread of the week appears.

Great work so far folks!

I have been currently (a few minutes every few days) been continuing on the power house.  It looked like this after basic gluing the walls together...

Here it was after being sprayed a primer gray for the color of the morter and the start of using a terra Cotta coloered Art Pencil on the bricks:

And...  This is the final color.  Several similar colors were used to highlight the brick and then the entire outside of the buiding was sealed with Dullcoat.

Still trying to figure out how to do the interior.....

Nice work guys, love what all of you are doing!!

 Well, here is my custom painted & lit Kato GP35 in daylight! Although ICE never had any of these, but it fits into what I model & what I want to use it for. It will be a Local switcher/spotter where they used various single locomotive equipment at times. Today it is pulling some baled scrap from the metal scrapyard. The model is also the subject of the Ditchlights posting I was running, please see it in the dark there!

Wow guys really great stuff so far. Love the farm scene. Hopefully my pics can stack up.

My latest project was weathering two of my MTH Norfolk Southern SD70M-2's. I have had these engines for 6 or 7 months and have always wanted to weather them.

Overall, I must say that these two engines are hands down my effort to date. All my weathering is done with a Paasche air brush water based paints and weathering powders.

Hope you all like them.

 

Have a great weekend everyone.
