SUNDAY SCENC SHOWCASE 6-1-2014

Very nice!

Peter

Tanks! They came out very nice. I recall many posts ago about these tank kits. You cannot beat the price. Nice job.

This past week's project was to custom detail, paint, letter and weather a MTH Northeast-style steel caboose into the CNJ's "Jersey Central Lines" 1950's-early 60's scheme. 

The starting point was a "beater" that I purchased from eBay that was then stripped.  Several details were then added (i.e. stove window closed up, single looped handrails on top of end ladders, drip edges above windows, the classic CNJ orange disks on the cupola, etc.).  I also painted the interior. 

It was then painted, lettered with CDS dry transfers, and weathered.  I wanted it to look like it has worked hard in the anthracite coal-mining region of northeastern PA!  Here are a few shots...

After weathering:

Just finished four bridges - two girder and two truss. They need to be sprayed. The bi-level truss bridge is still in assemby

Steve:

Thanks for the comment.

These are destined for a wall layout. Meanwhile I have some pictures of other bridges customers have sent me.

Still adding LEDs and experimenting with whisker track placement.

You did a marvelous job in assembling and then detailing this roundhouse.

Here are a couple of pictures of a Lionel Electrical sub-station kit that I have had laying in the box for probably 10 yrs. (to many projects going at once) Still need to add some lights over the doors. It will get more detail in and around it in time.

Nice work guys!

I enjoy seeing some weathering this week.

Hey everybody,

I just got back from a few days in wonderful Newport, Rhode Island.

The pictures today look great. Good job everyone.

Nice work everyone. I have a special interest in bridges; here are some I did for my outdoor suspended layout.

Nice work everyone, from tanks to a caboose to bridges.  I started on a Atlas O Hy-cube car and hope to have it finished next week.  It is only about half way completed, I need to clean up some of my rust marks and dings. I also included a photo before I destroyed this car.  Still learning and enjoying weathering cars for the layout. Nick 

I like that Nick, nice fade.

Thanks Laidoffsick.   All most finished with it, just need to finish the trucks. So hope to have pics in next weeks Showcase.   Nick 

That is an excellent looking RH and TT area.  The RH looks amazing...
