    I did buy some MEC brand stuff years ago to weather cars. No mica and it does work great. Was expensive.

    So much awesome in the last few pages.

    Nothing major here. I needed a switcher for my Galesburg IL modules and the Kato NW-2's had the earlier scheme. Since my layout is centered in the 1960's, I wanted the post '57 scheme. Found a good deal on a used NW-2 at this past years Ohio N Scale Weekend and went to work.


    Almost done, just need to flat coat it, install the decoader, re-assemble, weather and put her to work.

    Paint color can vary with weathering and what not. It looks great!

    Looks like the UP Armour Yellow I've seen all my life. The adjacent cars have a reddish hue....

    The details under the roofs are ready, the doors have been placed. Next step: painting.

    Will you be painting in traditional Rock Island colors? Or a different scheme?

    I will paint it yellow and red, like I see on the historical pictures of the depot.

    GDM,

    I think you are going to make a body load and pup unit out of those tanks.

    Summertime weathering fun. The oils drys faster and the dullcote drys "flatter" when it's hot outside.
