Experimenting...

Unread postby MadMike1024 » Mon Aug 08, 2011 2:29 am

Kali made us some Northwest style Halco spark arrestors. I showed him the pic of this locomotive http://www.locophotos.com/PhotoDetails.php?PhotoID=72540 for reference, and decided to see If I could duplicate the look of the stacks. I think it works!

I need to do some more work (where did I put that white Scotchlite tape?) and some minor details like labels and such. I'll have it up in a day or so.

Nice touch. It is all about the small details.

It's finished, and at the Beta tester's. Now, all I have to do is sell someone on the idea of creating a yellow strobe light. !**duh*!!

Mike, take this the right way. It's too darn shiny. We want weathered stuff. Otherwise, as usual, great work! !!*ok*!!

While were painting green switchers why not a BN green with C&S/A.T.S.F. lettering I always thought these were neat http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/bn/bn153.jpg
