    Flash,

    Alan told me the same thing, so would you paint the smaller areas first then the rest of the body? I'm getting the impression I did it the wrong way as I painted the green first but masked the orange are off so I was painting the orange to the undec shell and not over the green?
    </font>[/QUOTE]Also, if painting the orange first, you only have a very small and easy bit of masking to do ;)

    I am putting the finishing touches on the service rig scene I started on Thursday. The rest of the equipment was made, and now the site looks like service rig in action. The rig tank was made out of a lego block.

    My latest progress on home road cars for the AD&N.

    [​IMG]

    The AD&N had 70 of this type of pulpwood rack. They were numbered from 400 - 471. No, I do not know which one was missing. [​IMG]

    On my AD&N the green ones were recently shopped and repainted. They were originally undecorated Atlas cars.

    Paul, nice looking WP power!
    My guess would be to add maybe some dark green or black to the ModelFlex and see if that helps. I think the orange is a bit light, too. I used some on my IM WP FTs to do some touch up, and it didn't match. Maybe a touch of SP Daylight red? I'd have to experiment.
    A lot of great model work again!

    Here are some photos featuring my P2K Reading FA1 & FB1 on the unfinished Passenger Station Diorama. The bridges are only sat in place temporarily. I am waiting for some parts for them so I add attach them permanently.

    My first contribution this week are my shots from the Amherst Model RR Show going on right now in Springfield,Massachusetts, US.

    my Amherst 2005 pictures - 179 of them (whew!)

    They can be seen at:

    http://community.webshots.com/user/atsf_arizona_amherst_2005

    Here's a couple of shots from the above albums.


    1. From a clinic in the Northeast NTRAK convention, from Bob Gatland's "Sound in N scale" clinic:

    [​IMG]

    The above is Scott McDonnell's N scale brass cab forward with full sound installed in the tender.
    Incredible to watch and hear, as it moves slowly with full steam sound.

    2. Northeast NTRAK voted this module as the best in their layout this year. It's by
    Bill Pontin:

    Take care, all!

    My second contribution this week is a shot of a multi-unit lashup of the Santa Fe Erie-Builts A-B-A,
    2000 HP per unit for a total of 6000 HP in the lashup.

    [​IMG]

    Santa Fe only bought one set of Fairbanks-Morse A1A-A1A Erie-Builts, ordered
    in early 1946 but not delivered (due to a ugly labor strike at FM) until
    May 1947. By then, the single FM Erie-Built set had an unwinnable uphill
    battle to survive against the onslaught of passenger EMD F3s, F7s, and Alco
    PA-1s being delivered.

    [​IMG]

    Numbered "90L - 90A - 90B", the FM Erie-Builts were not successful
    on Santa Fe's long transcontinental passenger train runs (pictured
    above in a fictious desert site near Cajon Pass), and by the
    early 1950s were relegated to secondary trains like the Grand Canyon.

    By the mid-1950s they were in the LA-San Diego pool; by the
    late 1950s these one-of-a-kind-on-the-Santa-Fe locomotives were always
    near a repair base in Kansas City/Argentine, on local Kansas passenger
    trains like the "Oil Flyer" and the "Tulsan".

    They left the roster in 1963, scrapped with some parts being re-used by GE
    in three of Santa Fe's order of sixteen U25Bs.

    Bruce: Really nice weathering. I knew it! ;)

    Loco1999: Blower duct? [​IMG]

    I will not be here next weekend, so here is an extra oldie. A pair of Concor Alco C636s, remotored Sagami open frame, GMM wire handrails, plow, hoses, no horn, etc. I didn't even know what an Alco C636 was back then, but it looked different from GM! [​IMG]

    These two had rubber tires and were full of lead. They would really pull. Good NTrak engines.
