Hey Guys:

I'mn reading the instructions. George say a lot of coal companies were painted gray. I talked to him and asked what he thought of me doing it in gray and he said by all means. So that is what I'm going to do.

Hi Guys:

The directions suggest using Red,Redish Brown or Gray. I called George yesterday and we talked about the wall colors. He suggested that I use gray for something different. So I am using Floquil Driftwood stain. Then an A&I wash dry-brushed with Apple Barrel #20526 Country Gray. I have all the painting done, signs are applied. I am now adding the wall bracing. When finished I will take photos.

I'm following and very interested to see this one come together. I need a coal yard on my layout and am considering different kits available. This will be very helpful.
