A Second Look - W&Q #1

All set to roll with a coat of weathering that it really seemed to need. It looked just to clean painted. lettered and sealed. I also add a hand lantern on the back inside decking.

A second look at how my On30" looks today...George Dutka

I added a coal shove for the coal pile. As mentioned before I added very fine antique light cord wiring to the bell and whistle. 

I did not overdo the weathering I think. I feel it fits my scenes well.

B&SR Sign

The Bridgon & Saco River Ry Historical Society posted this view of the station sign on their Facebook page. I thought it could be reduced to your scale and printed for use on your structures...George Dutka

Weathering the Engine!

I used some AK Gouache on this engine. 

I started by weathering the engine first. The photos show you the products I used...George Dutka

Some Bragdon rust and three PanPasels including a coal coarse powder is applied to the coal load. The others are Raw Umber Shade and Neutral Grey.

W&Q is finished. The engine was lettered using Sloan decals from decades ago. They still work well today.

I also added fine wire as the whistle and bell cords.

Weathering Equipment

The engine I painted for Peter which he lettered for our W&Q Ry. modules. The decals are Sloan decals.

I pulled out a couple of pieces of On30" equipment that I acquired from Peter Mumby. We worked on these pieces together in the start. The photo shows some of the products I used in the weathering. More to Follow...George Dutka

A Small Extension !

To get a car or two out of the siding onto the main line Peter and I came up with this small extension made from scraps.

When Peter Mumby had his On30" module at home he needed a short piece of track on the right end so he could pull at least one car out of the siding. This was not a problem when the two modules are attached. We came up with this, that was just screwed on...George Dutka
