Nice job man... looks great! I wish I had the time for projects like ! Z

Ahhh yes.... the kit, kind of brings a tear to my eye. Not really! Been there, I've assembled 3 Intermountain hopper kits years back and a 4th is still waiting in the que for it's turn.... which will probably never happen. They almost put me in the nut house!🥴 Have fun Tom!

I just picked this up last week. My 1st BLI Loco. Its a nice model, I've been on the lookout for a quality gp35 for a while. Finally pulled the trigger. It's super smooth and sounds great! I really like these keep alive capacitor's that manufacturer's are putting in these newer locos. Great idea! Z

Sorry folks for posting later than I wanted, but I've been busy with work and getting ready around the house for summer! I just finished up on side 2 of this car, I might have pushed it a little harder on this side! All in all, I'm happy with it. Trying to get into the knack of hand painting...

Very nice Tom. Z

Man.... I don't know how you do it, that's a lot to take on and just keep going and going... and to receive stuff do the work and then ship it out and to receive more and on and on.... I'm getting burned out just watching ya! I need a break just after doing one car or loco myself. Great work...

Man is that ever a lot of work..... but it looks fantastic! Welcome to the forum! Z

That scene looks great, and welcome aboard btw!

Very nice, and welcome to the forum.

The fade, rust and grime and all look great! I have nothing else to add except nice job! I guess that's another one of your children out into the world eh Tom. Z

Yeah... I don't see how anyone could overdo a weathering job on an old gondola, nice pieces. Z

Nice work dude, I'm tipping my hat to you. I can't imagine weathering N scale locos and rolling stock, it's so darn small. There was a few years back around when I was about 14 that I was modelling in N scale... wow that would be tuff to work with. Keep it coming! Z

Yes I am ... you know what they say. " Growing old is mandatory... growing up, optional ".

My bad! I thought I was commenting to him!

Great looking gondola! Nice job, I need one of those in the CPR road name too, is that a Rapido Tom?
