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

Wordless Wednesday No. 178

 

  

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 

WW&F Ry. at Springfield

WW&F Facebook page photo.

The WW&F Ry. group noted on their Facebook page they are taking the head end of No. 10 to Springfield this January. Check them out at their booth...George Dutka 

Track Added

Yesterday I added the yard track I had to remove when I cut down the width of the module. The track is cut shorter to fit the scene. I have it laid in position at the moment. Now to cut in the roadbed and install. Snow day here in Southwestern Ontario today so not out of the house other than to shovel snow. Lots of modeling might happen once I get away from the computer...George Dutka
