The Los Angeles Terminal Railroad

I finished the engine eventually. It was pretty time consuming and I am glad that I can turn back to working on the layout again now. I applied a little weathering to make the MP15 look like it has to work to earn its keep without looking too abused. In fact the weathering is showing a little more in person (especially on the roof and on the hood) than in these pics.

Just thought I'd drop in and see how things are coming along, Kurt. That switcher is top drawer and won't look at all out of place here; nice subtle weathering too, old chap. It's beginning to make me want to dig out that switcher of mine I stripped of its paint before I lost interest and do something with it! Wouldn't mind, but I've even got the decals required without having to go to the lengths of hand painting like yourself - thankfully!!

Oh yes, think I'm getting the urge, again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best wishes, Kurt; also Reinhard, Tetters and all my other old friends on The Big Blue - Keep it up fellas!!!!!
