A new start - Riding the "Bochingen Branch" on the SR&RL - Page 7 - All Model Railroading

Waldbahner · 9th Feb 2010, 07:11

Here are some examples of finished rolling stock. I've still troubles while applieing decals so I hope that a soft weathering will hide most of the disaster.

Coach #17 + Combine #11

Click on thumbs for large pictures.

Boxcar #35 was rebuild with new positions of the ladders and new endbeams. The second boxcar #23 is "out of the box" style.

Click on thumbs for large pictures.

All Flatcars got their planks painted in dry brush technique to look like weatherd wood. This includes the gondola and tankcar too.

Click on thumbs for large pictures.

The caboose also got some paint on the platforms.

Click on thumbs for large pictures.

Still unfinished are two flatcars who will get pulpwood racks installed. The Forney loco will get a small back-date dress up at last.

Will be continued =)

I have the same problem with decals - very frustrating.

One thing I've done that helps - I've sprayed the model first with glosscote. Then after everything sets, a couple of layers dullcote.

That method has worked for me as well.

Hello all,

I'm sad to tell, but in preparation of a move, I've to tear down my On30-layout in a few month... It seems that I've no luck with On30 layout modeling so far.
Maybe I should go back to a smaller scale and build modular layouts...
Or I use the time and budget for my live steam Shay =)

All rolling stock and tracks are going to my dad and he'll start an On30-modular layout in the basement of his house together with another railroad friend.

Bye, Gerd

Waldbahner · 21st Jun 2010, 11:46

Hi Jack,

this time it's not me who is moving ;-) My girlfriend moves to my home.

Bye, Gerd
