Port of Catoosa Railroad

Really? It will probably come in real handy since the big thaw and the bottoms are dropping out of roads all over! I’m looking forward to it Vince! I assume there will be a bridge section with it. Thank you buddy, it will have a good home!

 

Wreckers need to be mobile lol no bridge with it

 

So, you are going to send the bridge at some point? I’m more than happy to work on it.

 

Yes dale giving you a bad time

Yes should be getting the bridges to you after the 3rd little unexpected fundage issue came up here

Sorry didn't get them out sooner

Really do appreciate the Catoosa lending a helping hand

 

Beginning of Gators Towing and Heavy Recovery for Dale will have a scratch built bed custom paint

One of a kind wrecker

 

Very nice Vince, way over the top buddy!

 

NP

What is your modeling era

 

Modern day, I’d say 2010 and beyond. Since most of my cars now sport reflective stripes, really more 2015 and up.

Thanks!

 

Okay thanks

 

Welp D here's what I'll be using as the guide to build Special K lol

It begins as I just found my 0.020 sheet styrene

 

So you want this in its own post wondering since this is going to be yer wrecker

 

That would be good Vince! I always like to see your work.

 

Okay it'll go under my vehicle posts

 

I finely got to try out my new spray booth today. I have 12 of these I bought 30 years ago. The Roundhose version.
I was give some weathering formulas by my friend Sammy C. of The Santa Fe Hereford Subdivision layout. I used the brown and finished off with a misting of black. I will finish up with some lighter powders to highlight things, add some hot spots and rust the wheels. Finally the reflective striping. 2 are done, these are in process and 8 to go.

Thanks for looking!
Dale

 

First one done. Number 2 is in the paint shop.

 

Hi Tom,

Thank you sir! I bought a cheap one off Amazon. It has a filter, fan and fold up sides. I believe I paid around 70 or 80 bucks for it. It did come with Tray so I can spin the cars around.

For the FRA stripes I use a pin striping tape I purchase at my local hobby shop. He caters to car kit builders mostly with very little train stuff. Here is a picture of what I use, it’s self adhesive so I cut it to length and stick it on. I have not had any trouble with it coming off. I add those last of all.
I run the tape out on a small mirror and measure strips in 36” for the end of the car and 18” for the intermediate strips.

Thanks,
Dale
