nice project Dave

Those stained glass windows are impressive!

Those are beauties! Keep us posted.

Nice work as usual Dave.

Oh, this is cool.  Post lots of pictures as you do it.  Beautiful potential there!

Working on decal artwork for the passenger car.......

First round of final assembly is complete.  A few details to add like stove stack but those go on last. I didn't have any painted seated figures and was impatient so I'll add them later if I feel the need. I lightly sanded the body to soften the factory tampo printing, Duplicolor great primer sealer. Tamiya Camel Yellow and bright silver for colors. 

My original idea was to shorten it up to 50 ft for a more backwoods look....but that kept me from doing anything....so just made it a simple project that I could finish while I recuperate. Detail is very simple and very rugged. I like stuff that I can run without worry. Decals up next!!! Thanks

looking good!

Left click on the image for a larger view, and really appreciate the stained glass window.  Very colorful car, for sure.

Nice looking car Dave. Keep us informed as to your progress.

Hi Dave • I like how you used CorelDRAW for the custom stained glass windows. 

Well Done.........

AMCDAVE,

     Very nice job!

Interesting project, really looks good.

Got the passenger car pretty much complete today. I may hit it with some dull coat but decals and paint need to cure for a week or two. Not much weathering will be done....this is the pride of Black Creek. Installed green clear sheet stock in clerestory windows....but had to see. End rails made from brass in a jig I made. Couplers are NOS Walthers cast. I am pretty happy for the amount of cash and effort put into it. Now to find a caboose to repaint in BCR&W colors. Thanks

Nice job, I like it.

that's it? beautiful job Dave!

Top drawer Dave, and you know how much I like passenger cars. 

Dave

One word,  FABULOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Alex

A very interesting car.  Nicely different than most.  Good job.

Wonderful little project Dave that turned out very nice.  I've never thought of making my own frame out of sheet plastic.  I pick up something new everytime I hang out with you guys on the forum.

Coach Joe

Dave, you have real skills; thanks for taking us along on this very successful project.

Veeeery nice. Beautiful work Dave. 

A great job Dave.  Looks really NICE!!!

 Congratulations from someone who is all thumbs.

What a great project!  You did some very nice work there..

Great job. I really like the windows.

THANKS ALL!!!!  Just having fun on the cheap!!!

Great job, it looks factory made. The black name board with yellow letteringreally stands out and looks awesome. 

Thanks,

Mario

That looks mighty fine.  Love it.

Show us the caboose when you make that selection......the combine looks nice.

Nice work nice project.

I chuckled when I saw the word "cheap."  Only if you already have CorelDRAW software and an ALPS printer--and the skills to use them.  Are those sunk costs?

True.........The ALPS was bought the first day they became available.  So after many personal and commercial projects....it has more then paid for itself. If I could I'd buy a new one today......oh well.....

And I started on CorelDraw 3 and have upgraded every version.......which is MUCH cheaper than buying full version X5!!

And as a decal artist with 100's of different kits with my decals.....it's all a blur now!!!

The dozen windows I printed is a drop in the bucket compared to many 'proofs' I have to do for commercial sets!!

But yes......I am blessed to have the tools!
