Hello Everybody

Today I want to share my experience with this NdeM Caboose. It is from Athearn special editions but I make some modifications: Kadee  couplers, windows, leds lights and some weathering.

Did you really finish the layout?

A few months ago I wrote that I almost finish my 8X4 layout, but did I really finish?

My answer is no…..      What is yours?

I began to run my trains and I realize that I need some improvements, also I began some restauration projects, weathering cars, upgrade old locos, and more

Can anyone help me with some advice for weathering yellow Caboose?

This is the result that I need

thanks

Eduardo

Hi

Still working in my weathering process, my next project is 50`ACF Exterior Post Boxcar from NdeM.

I haven´t  found a real picture from the roof.   Can anybody help with similar photos to weather the roof properly?

this the picture that i have and I can´t see the roof

and this is my project:

HI, I decide to begin weathering some of my locos, but first I want to practice. I have an old AHM dummy EMD GP18, also is important to say that I do not have all the proper tools, like airbrush, my local hobby shop is very bad with no weathering supplies.

So I decide to use acrylic paint and I found black powder for artist

Here you can see a picture before, and then after

Six months ago I began my journey in the hobby, since then I read many articles that are against 8X4 layout, in a few lines I will like to share my experience and support that this size is perfect for beginners.

The first thing that I realize that HO is the most popular scale with the big manufactures, hobby shops and even in youtube. Also that a good layout required some basic element.
