Thanks guys for the complements.

This was a great extersize in painting and decaling.

 looks like the pic that I used. With the expection of some numbers that moved

when I put decal set on and tried to strighten. I will get better with time.

 The hard part anty more is finding detail parts and some decals.

 Still looking for 3 chime horns for the switcher that was what was on the prr in the pic.

Hi Dave

 Here is what I could see from the pic of 9484 i could not see the horns on the 9483

 the pic was not at good angle. I am figering there the same.

 thay look like nathon 3 chime.

 the decal set i used this time was walthers. when I had done ho years ago I use

 to use microscales decal set. I tried the walthers it had come with some used things we bought. figered I would try it. It wicked out fast. It would not lift agin

 when I put more decal set on it to try to move them.

 If you have horns simler to this Please let me know.

 Thanks Dave.

Harry, nice job.

 

I recently airbrushed 3 boxcars.  They came out great, but on the first one it had been a while since I had painted anything and I "thought" I had all the right stuff (paint, thinner, etc) when I headed out to the garage.

 

I mixed it all up and started spraying but I was getting clumpy paint out of the airbrush.  Come to find out I had thinned the paint with MEK and not Testors thinner

 

I quickly cleaned up the mess and switched over to the Testors thinner and now have 3 nice looking PS1 boxcars.

 

I model the Seaboard Air Line and decals are hard to find, but I've been getting Jerry Glow to make some for me on my last projects.  If you model a RR that is hard to find shoot him an email:

The way he's made the ones for me have been very easy to put on and no cutting/splicing numbers so far as he's made them car specific per my requests!!!
