Very happy with the results, this is my first brass paint job and I can say I learned a lot. Enjoy the pictures.

It's a beautiful thing.
I like the shot with it hanging from the ceiling.
Masterful craftsmanship! Those dry transfers are superb.

SANTIAGOP23,
Who's couplers are you using? It looks somewhat like a Protocraft,but looks like it has a lower shelf on it.
Al Hummel
Al, they are indeed Protocraft

Thanks, Ron. I appreciate the input
While I wasn't quite able to match the paint job quality on my PSC BE1 car, I think it holds up pretty well.

Very nice work. Someday I have ten Harrimans that need paint. I think I will put it off for a while.
Sweet!
Car and photos are superb, I really enjoy following your projects.
Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas
Thanks, guys! Just happy to be able to contribute, the forum has been a bit slow lately
Very nice work.
Very nice!
Absolutely superb Santiago. I have an old car similar to this one, made of wood, metal and cards that I picked up on E-Bay long time ago. Your pictures are a very good motivation and references to help me finish it.

Santiago,
I may be in error here but, I seem to remember you saying something about doing all of this pretty much just for yourself. If I'm wrong, please forgive me......it's a fairly common occurrence. The reason I even bring it up is, one of the really neat things I received from the Lou Cross was the "Executive Car" from his layout. Coincidentally, it's named, President Cross. It's a American Standard heavyweight and I don't remember who built it for him. Seems to be built okay.
Where am I going with this, I sure would like to have you work your magic on it.
Your thoughts?
Jay
The engine in the video is fantastic! Who makes that?

Jay,
I'd love to work on any of Lou's pieces, it would be such an honor. He was the best and I remember him fondly. However, I do not live in the States, I live in Colombia. And so shipping stuff back and forth is just too expensive. Thank for for considering me though.

Santiago,
I assumed shipping would be the cheapest part of the whole deal.

Jay, in that case send me an email and let's talk about it. Santiagop23@hotmail
