Hi Tom,
I must be living under a rock...I just saw this thread.  Wow!  What beautiful work on this engine!  It certainly takes a number of skills rolled into one to perform at this level.  Thanks for posting all of these progress photos.

Hi Tom:

Very well done indeed. Take me back to the days when I used to paint and repair locomotive. That was before I got started on structures.

Karl,
         You use too paint and repair locomotives, Wow!  That's cool. I never knew that about you.  Well if they're anything like what you do now then they must have been pretty nice jobs back then. Perhaps you could give a guy in Florida I know some pointers, he could sure use some, especially on marker lights.   He had surgery lately and doesn't work on his layout anymore.  I bet he'd might find painting/repairing old crappy engines just might be his forte'.   Thanx Thom...

Mark,

No problem, I've been under a boulder for the past few months. Happy you found the thread and stopped in to post a comment. I appreciate you following the repair.

Karl,

Happy to hear you liked the fix for Frank. Also, happy to hear you are one of a few that did this type of work. You know what all goes into the brass repairs and painting.

Karl,

Don't even listen to khaki pants for he knows not of what he speaks!


I don't know it all as Khaki seems to think, but I know I don't need any more pointers. I know all I need to get by and then just a little more to get into trouble.

Khaki is very generous of my time but he was just saying last night how he wanted a pro-bono repair and paint job to work on.

I'll see if I can get him one.

Up date on the Erie Berkshire.

The TCS WOW decoder is now installed and the loco sounds great.

I'll be doing a video on it and posting the video on Saturday afternoon. Yes, this Saturday. I need to make a few adjustments and add the rear marker jewels.

Until then.
