You sure do nicer paint work than I can. Congratulations on a fine looking machine!
Harry you switcher looks great. Good work!!!
OP:
Please edit the thread title !
Nice job, Harry. I'm a fan of the PRR switchers, used to watch them when we played baseball at the playground.

For your 2nd re-painting you did a great job. I have found that weathering or painting cars are more joyable then working on the layout. It gets addictive. Thanks for sharing. Nick
Harry, it that a "pant" job or a "paint" job?
There certainly isn't any spare room inside, of that I can attest. I was amazed at how they crammed all the stuff in there!

Excellent job.
Thanks guys for the complements.
This was a great extersize in painting and decaling.
looks like the pic that I used. With the expection of some numbers that moved
when I put decal set on and tried to strighten. I will get better with time.
The hard part anty more is finding detail parts and some decals.
Still looking for 3 chime horns for the switcher that was what was on the prr in the pic.
Maybe Harry was panting after he finished painting!
Hi Dave
Here is what I could see from the pic of 9484 i could not see the horns on the 9483
the pic was not at good angle. I am figering there the same.
thay look like nathon 3 chime.
the decal set i used this time was walthers. when I had done ho years ago I use
to use microscales decal set. I tried the walthers it had come with some used things we bought. figered I would try it. It wicked out fast. It would not lift agin
when I put more decal set on it to try to move them.
If you have horns simler to this Please let me know.
Thanks Dave.
Harry, nice job.
I recently airbrushed 3 boxcars. They came out great, but on the first one it had been a while since I had painted anything and I "thought" I had all the right stuff (paint, thinner, etc) when I headed out to the garage.
I mixed it all up and started spraying but I was getting clumpy paint out of the airbrush. Come to find out I had thinned the paint with MEK and not Testors thinner
I quickly cleaned up the mess and switched over to the Testors thinner and now have 3 nice looking PS1 boxcars.
I model the Seaboard Air Line and decals are hard to find, but I've been getting Jerry Glow to make some for me on my last projects. If you model a RR that is hard to find shoot him an email:

The way he's made the ones for me have been very easy to put on and no cutting/splicing numbers so far as he's made them car specific per my requests!!!
Very nice
Thank you for posting.
Harry, you did a nice job. Looks great.
Harry, it that a "pant" job or a "paint" job?
Well, it's his second. So it's a pair of pants.
