Hi AggroJones,

cheers, krump

Well, I'll post up all the weathered stuff I've got:
Sawyer Berry

Building a protolanced industrial park layout
Well here is a couple of my stuff:
Swedish Custom painter and model maker. My Website:
My Railroad
My Youtube:
Graff´s channel
Couple of pics of my Athearn SD45-2 I just finished.
I tried to get the beacon in mid flash but no way!
Here's some of my more recent stuff:
Vincent
Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Well, My entry is not weathered, but it is kinda weathered around the windows with real dirt that I used to mask the windows. (Hey, it worked!)
Some recent work - the PRR hopper and IC boxcar are factory lettered, as is the CPR reefer, which was modified somewhat, while the CNR gondola was done with the Westerfield decals. All others are C-D-S dry transfers, with re-weigh and re-pack data from Champ.
A re-worked Varney car:
Bowser:
Accurail:
Westerfield:
Proto2000:
Modified Stewart:
Walthers:
Train Miniature:
Sylvan:
Another N scale:
It's actually weathered on one side, clean on the other. The layout it will run on offers only one side of the car for view at any time so painting it this way allows it to represent two different cars by turning at around on the track.
Here is an Atlas 3rail.
I guess I will add a couple more.
I think I saw that IATR car at a Train Show in Illinois!
Two of my locos. Shay is my early work, 4-6-4 was farmed out and done by one of dem crazy MTW psychos, Mike Couvrette. To me it is art and having someone else's work is like having a painting by another artist. Besides he's better than I am! Freight is my work. I'm glad I have a dirty steam layout so I can justify the messy work.
