I've done some more today. Added grass to my crossover TTRAK modules so they don't look so naked.
I spent last night getting the decals on NS 3329, gave them a little coating of Micro Sol, and went to bed. I woke up this morning to see the white stripes and the Maersk logos wrinkled. I've had had this happen before but not to this extent. I'm unsure If I'll try taking off the decals and painting the stripe or just toss it back in the alcohol bath and start fresh.
Disappointing. You do realize that I go to train shows just to ogle the naked modules, don't you?
And you like those skinny bodied GP30s too. Tell us you prefer tight curves on a layout?
Would.
No, that's definitely a steal caboose
@robert3985, your caboose projects are lookin sweet! I need to get mine to the front of the burner and get 'em done. Nice work, brother!
Beautiful work on that caboose @haasmarc! I’ve been trying carve some modeling time for myself whenever I can. This month I’ve been intermittently working on is decaling up some Amtrak Phase iii stock for the Conrail era of my Toledo Division Free-moN set up. While domes weren’t a regular feature on the Lake Shore Limited until the 1990s (running between Albany and Chicago), I thought it would be a signature sight for an 80s Amtrak train running at shows. This Kato dome is a reasonable foobie, but of course after I bought the car, Lowell Smith announced his new NP/GN domes which are exact models of what Amtrak used. The car was stripped in a 99% rubbing alcohol bath for several hours, then a Dremel nylon brush rotating at its lowest rpm, helped remove the stubborn paint in the bath. Tru-color Platinum Mist was used with Micro Scale decals. The decals were pretty old, so one bit flaked off, but I’ve since replaced it. (Attachment Link)
