USA O scale in The Netherlands

The whole scene is fantastic, but I think the lighting in the 2nd and 3rd photographs are the best.  The shadows aren't so dark, so we can see the rocks on the ground better.

Thanks, I took a lot of shots fun to do

I started this time with a locomotive the 3-truck shay from Sunset the weathering you see here is different what I have done on freight cars I can say it is not easy for me to make it nice I hope it is on his way. I used grimy black for the entire locomotive and wash it with benzene used also some powders and brown colors. The smokebox is what I done first on top of it gets blacker later.

The first as it was above the weathering bellow pictures I want to make it older and older. The railroad name is made up the weathering is still going on now is it drying hope to continue on the weekend

Excellent weathering!

Super nice !

thanks, new pictures it runs very well for a model more than 25 years old no irritating noises a good model I like this one

It looks superb!

You're a talented modeler Ed, that weathering is fantastic. Do you use chalks, oils, typical model paint, or a combination? Weathering takes a lot of practice and paying attention to the prototype to get it believable and you can check that box off.

I like the rerailers, tools and other items on the running boards.  Nice job!

Thanks UP148, I use a lot of different types of paint but I always mix and of course combination with powders. I search every time on the internet and print the pictures sometimes a lot or I use books😀

I can't help myself to take more shots of it

Try to do it very close and not so sharp the shay but it is what the max is of my iPhone

Take all the shots you want ED3945. We don't mind looking.

Super nice

thanks, a picture of the PRR FA-2 overland model.

I will be doing both.   My layout is what I call "Finished" at least for trackage and scenery.    I have done a lot of repainting and detailing of my present fleet of engines and rolling stock.   I'm not in need of adding rolling stock or locomotives so I guess I'm at the stage where weathering detail is my next attempt.   This would also include buildings.     I will be checking out tutelage from the internet.   You are a "master" in my opinion, and I would appreciate using you as a resource down the line.  Thanks!

Cheers, Dave

I really like key models this one F7 Great Northern is a Beaty but I don't have the A version only the 308c and b I bought it from Caboose hobbies many many years ago. Some pictures of this one The paintjob is really awesome.

many scales together I don't have much space so I'm stacking it now

Two pictures of the N5C from Kohs I like cabooses they are beautiful.
