Harry Heike weathers some of the Lionel J3a's

Very nicely done Steve, subtle but not over done.  I like it.  Very nice job, thanks for sharing.

The bottom lighter engine is mine.  Can’t wait to get it on the layout

I was always on the fence about weathering, but I have to admit, I like them a lot.  Impressive work!

My non weathered 5415 runs very well. I am thankful Steve put the work into this special run of locomotives!

Harry is a true artist. Can't recommend his work enough.

The weathering on these is subtle but amazingly effective.

there's a reason lionel uses harry exclusively to weather their product.   Lionel always strives for the best possible result and harry gives them what they demand.   And what you and I expect. Harry is doing 20 of my engines right now and can't wait till I can post pictures.

Likewise Harry's done about 30 engines for me and countless freight cars. Hope you will be as satisfied as I am. Please show your engines

Any idea what a madison coach would cost for a base, stripe and roof paint job?  Best way to get it touch the email above?

As always, Harry's work is truly amazing!  Not over done and super realistic.
