I like that Andy, very nice.
Thanks Rick. I’m learning to be more patient with this scale instead of giving up.Looks good from here Lee..........good to see you have taken an interest in 1-87 scale again.
Thanks for the complement Jim. I hope they done stick out like a sore thumbHi Lee
Very nice. They'll fit in nicely on the layout.
Jim
Thanks Tim I’m glad you like them. You are so right great to practice on and also no two sides are alike glad you dropped in.Looking good Lee. Railway wagons are a great canvass for weathering. It always seems like no two are the same…..
Thanks Paul I appreciate it.Lee,
Looking good.
Looking good Ron.Got these two base-coated last night. Still need to assemble the command radio for the 250 and the searchlight for the 251. Trying to find some inspiration for the remaining camo scheme on UHU (re: somebody else's idea online to steal, er, borrow) When the time comes I can already tell, attaching each top half to each bottom half is going to be a pain....
PS the 250 is shinier because I went ahead and semi-glossed it for upcoming decals and weathering.
Thanks Rick. There both Bachmann the the dude who Customized these cars I think just grab what ever was in his parts box at the time and slap it on I have several he has made and lots of them have different Trucks missed match doors different couplers on the ends the list goes on. But you could get different door options back then on the same looking car.Weathering them is about the best solution, aside from stripping them and starting over.......I suspect you will be able to hide a lot of the previous owners sins and they will look good on the layout (two foot rule in effect) so enjoy what you are doing and all will be well......I look forward to you completed posting and the subsequent break-in period on the layout. Is it me or are these cars different mfg.? There are subtle differences.....doors, stirrups and grabs. Other than that they look almost the same. Rick H.
