Painting A Brass Locomotive for Erieman

[ACL1504]

While I was painting Frank's loco, I took the time to touch up some of my own brass locos.

This one is a KEY 4-8-2 Light Mountain. Had Tsunami sound but now has the TCS WOW sound installed.



This next one is the United/PFM Frisco 2-10-0  Russian Decapod. Had Tsunami and now has the WOW sound.



Continued in a few.

This one is an Atlantic Coast Line P-5a 4-6-2 Light USRA Pacific. Key imported this loco in 1979. The builder was Sam Hongsa and only 75 were made.



The top one is a United/PFM USRA 2-8-2 Mikado. WOW sound installed.

The bottom one is PFM, Toby built and imported in 1968. Tsunami installed. The Tsunami decoder has the Frisco 1522 whistle.

Here is how the smoke box front looked when it came out of the oven. I'm sorry but this one I didn't get a very good photo.



And here is how it looks with the details painted in the loco black.



Continued in a few.

The bell and number board outlined/painted with Floquil Brass. Another fuzzy picture.



Inside bell was painted with Floquil Signal Red.



Hopefully, this next picture is much clearer.





More in an hour or so!

I know why Frank was having trouble sleeping the other night.  The locomotive is looking great - love the play by play. Frank don't worry he is a professional.

What, Me Worry? NOT! I'm pleased to watch Tom do his magic.

Love the engines. Looking forward to see the final paint engine.

Y'all ought to see these beauties up close. I love to run them, especially with the new WOW sound in them. 


But the problem is, Tom won't let me high-ball them. I have to faithfully follow all of his speed restrictions.....or else. He only allows me to do high speed with my engines or his old Varney loco!

He's just a party-pooper!!!

Evidently, Mrs. Langford didn't raise no dummies.

Martin,

Thank you, much appreciated. The engine will be a show piece for Frank when finished.

Again, Martin, my wife and I are very sorry for your loss.

Greg,

Thank you for the kind words on the brass paint jobs. You can run them any time as long as you follow the speed restrictions as you said.

High ball the old Varney all you want.   Wait, I don't have an old Varney.

No actually, I'm a bathroom pooper.
