Harry Heike weathers some of the Lionel J3a's

MrMuffin'sTrainsOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBERFORUM SPONSOR

Several of our customers had us ship their Lionel Legacy J3a to Harry for weathering, and I thought you folks would enjoy seeing the finished results.... To get a quote on weathering by Harry - email him at harrys_trains@comcast.net and my thanks to Harry for letting me share these.

BTW - we have one each of the Lionel Legacy J3a's left on our website, and they are still at the pre-order discounted price. Just say the word, and we can ship it to Harry for weathering!

Heavy weathering, with deflectors and curtains added

Lighter weathering applied

I was always on the fence about weathering, but I have to admit, I like them a lot. Impressive work!

My non weathered 5415 runs very well. I am thankful Steve put the work into this special run of locomotives!

Harry is a true artist. Can't recommend his work enough.

The weathering on these is subtle but amazingly effective.

there's a reason lionel uses harry exclusively to weather their product. Lionel always strives for the best possible result and harry gives them what they demand. And what you and I expect. Harry is doing 20 of my engines right now and can't wait till I can post pictures.

Likewise Harry's done about 30 engines for me and countless freight cars. Hope you will be as satisfied as I am. Please show your engines
