WOW!!! Great job, Alan. Hard to tell it's a model....
Alan,
That model is on a layout in Yuba City.

Excellent work as always, Alan! This week I'm working on a project to improve the looks and level of detail of an MTH RailKing bay-window caboose. Here's an out-of-the-box photo...
The project will include:
- replacing the hideous-looking (& non-prototypical) stock MTH trucks with the new Atlas roller-bearing caboose trucks with scale-thickness side frames (pictured above). A secondary benefit to doing this will be the car riding lower on its trucks, further improving its appearance.
- painting the window frames to represent the prototypical aluminum frames.
- painting other details such as the under frame, smokestacks, radio antenna, etc.
- light weathering to represent a car that's been in service for a year or two.
Shown below, the car has been completely dis-assembled and masked to do the window frame painting...
And here's a shot after the window frames and other details have been painted...
More progress photos to follow.

Alan, is that roof cardstock ! I was wondering how you were able to cut the edges of the tiles like that in wood, then as I looked closer I thought perhaps it was cardstock !!

Hi Robert. The substructure of the roof is mat board like they use to frame pictures. The shingles are peel and stick.
Very nice work guys
Well done gents!!
For fun, a picture of my Layout, Leapin Larry's Looney Lines RR...
