  Nice Work Tom!    I really like watching all the step by steps.  Ha, feels like I'm there working with you.  Here!, let me clean up the airbrush for yah...  Thanx Thom...

[Erieman]

Tom, I am loving the story and progress my friend. Looking marvelous. This might just have to sit on the shelf, NOT. This is going to  be awesome on the layout. Keep up the great work. Don't forget to add the Dirty look. But I am probably jumping the gun.

Andy,

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. I also love the old steamers but through the years I've found myself following deseasiels (sic).

Thom,

Thank you my kind sir. Cleaning the air brush is my least favorite job on painting brass. There are days when I clean it 3-4 times after painting something. It's an old habit but well worth the effort in the long run. I've been using my old Binks air brush for almost 40 years now.

Frank,

Morning my friend. I guess you are still in the sack unless you are up at 4AM. Glad you are following along. It will look good on the Morristown and Erie RR.

I'll make the loco look like it is well used but not abused.

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! 

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.

Tom

I do

Jim,

Good, bring it to the next SBG and Greg can burn the motor out. Maybe it will survive at light speed, then again I guess it won't.

Thanks for following along.

Tom

Hot diggidy dog.....MORE STEAM.....Throttle To The Stop.....

Good Morning Tom,

No I was not up early this morning. Just an old sleepy head. Not worried about what you are doing. You are a master and doing a wonderful job painting and repairing my engine. I am really looking forward to seeing it run, 1st on your layout and then permanently on my layout. Keep up the wonderful work, my friend.
