My version of the K&P coal breaker

Super job, Chip! 

George

Thanks. I got some overspray from painting it black on the lower card stock block area that created an unnatural line around it from the tape I put around it to protect it.I like what the overspray did because if you ever deal with coal and it is wet it will splatter all over the place. I gotta figure something out to do with it.

Bravo.....well done....love it! Tom in PGH

Good job!

K & P doesn't seem to have a website which is a bummer since I'm trying to find out about their electrical transformers and other gear that can be used to build a sub-station. I can't believe any hobby supplier can exist today without a web site.

Really nice job!

You can contact Phil Kehr at K&P:

His transformer is included in the powerhouse kit, but I'd bet that he would sell it as a separate item.  I saw it at the Stasburg show last week and it looked great.

Very nice, how did you get the painting effect of old wood, with painting peeling off.  I would like to build a barn and have it look similar.

I like that weathered effect, and it would look good on a barn.

Thanks for the nice comments. 

All I did was paint the entire thing flat black then I found some cheap metallic silver and used a flat paint brush and dipped it in the silver then before applying it, just dabbed it into a paper towel and just lightly touched the surface using vertical strokes . The look I was going for was metal corrugated siding with coal dust all over. I think I might go back over it again but this time use a flat grey but using less than the what I did with the metallic silver for the next layer.

You did great for your first kit! I'm impressed!

Don't forget to post more photos when you complete it and put it on your layout

Coal mines and coal breaker are among my favorite things on a model railroad.

Yours looks just super terrific 

when you said breaker, was willing to bet you are from Pennsylvania.
