Rebuilding and Detailing Athearn Switchers Part 3

Thu, 2019-05-23 18:16 — rem5142

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve worked on this. My modeling generally jumps between various projects and the time I put in, is inconsistent to say the least. The work featured in this post was done 2 years ago, last fall I painted, decaled and weathered the shell, so it’s progressing. Let’s see if I took enough photos to remember how I constructed this model. This part will focus on building the Cannon & Co cab.

I recently stumbled on a prototype photo in my late 1980s era that inspired a slightly new direction for the layout, while keeping the physical layout itself the same: Rail Car America C415 #423:

After the success of weathering my first large scale boxcar back this winter, I decided to tackle another long forgotten project. Years ago, another large scale modeler Brian Brigg's passed away.

Print your own cover for bulkhead loads

Sun, 2019-05-12 16:46 — MyIdaho

I recall reading an excellent article on MRH that described how to print your own load cover for bulkhead loads.  In particular, it was referring to using a piece of balsa wood on a bulkhead car that was covered with thin plastic sheet labeled for one of the lumber companies.  I have two bulkhead cars and want to use the graphic for "Idaho Wood Products" but can't find the article.  Can anyone help me?  I'm probably using incorrect terminology but hopefully it is close enough...

You can keep it all in your head but I want to photograph before and after weathering, list the weights, what I bought when and where. Any suggestions I was thinking excel then I saw you can get onenote templates.

This came up in my feed and I thought it's interesting to see a glimpse of production being done in EU (though reading the comments some items are made in Viet Nam apparently).

 

Displaying my passenger train

Sat, 2019-04-27 22:09 — Deemiorgos

My branch line terminus layout can only fit a short passenger train. So I got out all my cars and put them on the inglenook to display them and to photograph them.

I have no idea if the sleeper car and coaches are in the proper positions.
