Great weathered old ladies! How do you do your weathering on steamers?
-Bob
Life is what happens while you are making other plans!
Thanks,Bob. I know that not everybody is crazy about heavy weathering,but the period I model is the end of steam,and most of the pictures I've seen of the Big Boys in that era show them as pretty grimy.
I mix weathering powder(Bragdon's Soot Black) with 70% isopropyl alcohol,then "paint" the engine with it.With a smaller brush I add rust or light gray for water stains. When it's dried I brush off the excess with a soft brush,holding the vacuum nozzle close. 'Gives a nice grimy look,and a little water or alcohol will clean it back up.
Thanks again,
Mike

I'll razz our Canadian friends for not posting a Canadian steam locomotive.
I'll tell my dirty little secret. My 2-6-0 is actually a Canadian National prototype I painted for CB&Q. It actually looks very similar to a real CB&Q 2-6-0, and I did not change details as I could have done.
So here is Canadian steam in disguise..
Please show an EMD diesel.... This should be easy.
(Canadians. It is your fault I had to tell my dirty little secret.)

bogp40 Here's the EM1, smallest of the Yellowstones, shame not one was saved. We will have a fantastic "new" Big Boy in about 5 years Show me a Berkshire, the handsome beast Three of the Yellowstones still exist. One each in Two Harbors, MN, Proctor, Mn and one on indoor display at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth MN. Both of the ones on outdoor display have undergone much work. The Proctor one is probably in the worst shape. It sits out unprotected in the weather. The one in Two Harbors is under a roof matching the Three Spot nearby and is fairly well protected and has been said to be in the best shape restoration wise. Of course the Duluth one is in wondelful cosmetic shape and is raised off the rails enought so that it "runs" a few times an hour during museum hours. Too bad they don't have the sound to go with it, sort of spooky seeing things turn silently. Just to let you know that three were saved from the scrap heap.

Here is a shot across the Sunnyside yard.

Bing:
Yes, three Missabe Yellowstones were saved, but no B&O EM-1's, even though one was promised to the B&O Museum. The EM-1's may have been the smallest 2-8-8-4's, but by no means could they be called small engines. It's all relative.

Please show another yard - any yard(stockyard,backyard,junkyard...).

Middleman-
Gp9s. Not to mention the couple of whoppers on the left. I like this scene. Nice work!
I'm debating what switchstands/indicators I'm going to use. I'd love to know what kind yours are and if you're willing to comment on the reliability. I bought a kit and I'm not impressed with what it is. To be fair it's still in the box but not sure if I want to even try them.
Thanks!
Thanks,Ted.
The switch stand kits are from Central Valley Model Works. I can position the targets manually,but they do not move with the turnouts. I think they could be adapted for that,but I have 60+ on the layout,and didn't want to bother.As you would expect from their size,they won't survive rough handling.

How do you add pictures to these posts?

You need to have your photos stored on a site such as "photobucket".You can't post to the forum from your computer. If you do have photos on line,tell us what site they're on,and I'm sure someone can help.
