Here is a Pic of the Milwaukee Road S3 #261 I am almost finished with.  It still needs airtanks and clear coat.
I have not been able to get anything done lately so its good to get going again.

Here is an engine that I got for $100.00 off of Ebay.  Just needed a draw bar repair and paint.

Ok so here is the most current picture of my A-4 project. Air pumps and rear light are now applied, I still need to do marker lights, lettering and numbering, and a coal load, and I also see a spot on the tender i need to sand some paint build up down, but it's looking a little more NP-ish now.

On another note, I HATE trying to paint on white wheels. Couldn't get the drivers 100% to save my life!  :facepalm:

Looks good delamaize,  nobody (except for me) will realize how much work you put into building the cab and boiler out of brass. 

P.S. I know the way you feel about the paint flaw.  Up close shot of n scale engines bring out imperfections you had never seen with the naked eye.

The niagaras look good.  You should paint the tires black.... You'll be surprised.  Take it from the paint expert!!!!! Ha!

 :|         Here we go again,bring back this thread. First photo a Rivarossi Pacific with aVandy Tender from the old Aspen Models ,these tenders were made frrom European Tank Cars.



UP 4-8-4 809. This is a Foob F-E-F 1 Bachmann conversion. The prototype 809 had a centipede tender late in her career from a retired F-E-F 2 so the 809 tender could be used for a baby turbine tender. However when the tender swap ocurred locos were back to black paint scheme not two tone gray as on my model. The tender is a Rivarossi. Nate Goodman (Nato).

Here is my Oriental Limited Brass A4.  I made some changes to it and my good friend Joe Valerio painted it for me.
