Well, got to run the cars behind the J for the first time yesterday. Finished my little oval and of course these were the first to go around....
Cool. Will keep an eye out for those books. Hadn't been a big N&W fan until I started researching these cars. I have quickly become very "nutty"...
Very nice work. The decals are real impressive. Is the Model flex paint the same as Accuflex? I have used the Accuflex and love it. Sully
Thanks for the info Mark. I will have to take another look at removing the skirting on mine at some point. Will probably just leave the gold on it...
Thanks! Mixed the color up myself, a little caboose red and Tuscan. Hope to repeat it when I get my observation. Tried my best to eyeball it from...
Rick - I really appreciate the offer. Would love to load up the trains and fishing gear in my Ranger and head your way. That would be a sweet...
Thanks Rick! I still quite new to painting n scale stuff, and these are my first passenger cars. I am without doubt my own worst critic. In...
Here are some Con-Cor passenger cars I just finished striping for my J Class. Used Testor's gold, but realized that it doesn't match the...
Thanks all! Will post some pics after I get them decaled. And Boxcab, I should clarify that I think I got it running decent. Have not run it...
Howdy yall! Been posting some on the N scale board and lurking around here some. Great stuff! Wanted to share a few projects I have been working...
Geepers Good stuff here. First time posting on this board, wanted to share my 2 HO geeps. The blue one I am waiting to get decals for, the other...
That is awesome. Real awesome. Sully
I am also debating on removing the skirting between the trucks on the cars. The pics I have found show no skirts, but it may prove more of a pain...
Oh, I totally agree. But like I said, will probably use them for now, just will hold off clear coating over them. If and when a new set comes out,...
Well, I managed to find 2 sets of the Microscale versions online. Didn't think they looked real accurate. Had been toying with the idea of trying...
Brokemoto - I will email woo woo woo about the car, but did not see it listed on the web site. Did find the body and glass listed on the Kato parts...
Ben - Thanks for the info, will look into that. Kevin - I am looking for the smoothside. Trying to replicate the cars used by Norfolk and Western...
Does anyone carry seperate Kato cars? I am building a train for my Spectrum J-Class and would really like to have a Kato observation. Got a six...
Thanks for the compliments, all. I also have a Bachmann Prarie that I removed the UP livery and added C&O to. I know, it is not prototypical and...
Thanks for the kind words all! And yes, I will have to check out the C&O forum. Need some good reference pics for my BL-2. Sully
