I did the initial weathering on the wall with A&I. There will be more with chalks later.

Thanks for stopping by the thread and the kind words. We are getting to the fun part where I start adding the details. I'm having a lot of fun with this one.

John,
I am enjoying this build as best I can, Between eye surgeries when the glasses work.

Hi Tom

Thanks for stopping by the thread and the kind words. I'm spending most of the day painting the detail castings for the interior - I will be at this for a few days but it's all about those details.

John, I wasn't sure how it would all go together but that looks great.

This is a true scratch build - a lot of making it up as we go. I have an idea of what I want to do in each location but I don't know for sure if I will like it until I see it on the model.

For the next few days I have a number of mini projects for the Locomotive Works to complete. I have a boiler to assemble and finish paint, a horizontal steam engine to assemble and finish paint, and an overhead pulley system to assemble. All very cool details but very time consuming to assemble. Maybe a picture or two on the workbench.
