What are you using to weather your wheelsets? Chalk or airbrush?
The color looks great!

Thanks

Rob

Thanks,
I airbrush my trucks and wheels with Floquil railroad tie brown.

Yet another bridge for the Western Maryland...  Here's the location:



Just a bit up stream from the station.

Started in on the landforms, too as you can see.  Those two sections will be semi-removable to access track below decks when necessary.

Looking good Lee.  And thanks for the Kato SD-40 install.  That's probably one of the best running engines I now own.

I keep plodding ahead, working on the 49 Intermountain tank car kits I won on eBay 2 months ago. I estimate I'm about 33% finished, although no individual cars are done yet. And try to find weights for them! Rant rant rant! I'm going to try filling the tank with modeling clay and see how that works.

And when I finish them (or they finish me), I have 39 Intermountain reefer kits to complete.

I'll be busy until winter, don't know which year yet.


Hmm... and Kiz is bidding
on more kits...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Nice David, I love it. that would be perfect to watch something run around when you want to just run a train. Not sure if its the camera or whatever, but the tree colors are perfect to me for Spring. I just looked out the window here and perfect match.. I would be interested in the details on them!
