Tom,

You are making great progress on the barn. Really like the faded red colour.

I have uses a number of Hunterline stains and like using them. Another method I have used with success is using acrylic inks which can be thinned with alcohol. They come in a multitude of colours.

Thanks for the compliment on the barn. I think I'll look into the acrylic inks. Sounds like they could be a great addition to the workbench.

Pennman, (Rich) sent me three photos of the BTS Barn kit bashed by James Lucas. James made the barn into a small engine shed.

James built many fantastic models and dioramas. He and GreggW built many as a team.

I learned James passed this past year and some of his work still may be on Facebook.

James also posted many photos of his work on RR Lines, which is now long gone along with his photos.

You can find more of his modeling here - https://modelersforum.com/index.php?topic=1973.0

James looks to have been a very good modeler; it's a shame he passed. Those who were in control of the RR-L Forum, I wonder if they realized the amount of history that went by the wayside that can never be reproduced.
Tom thanks for sharing and the link.

Larry,

Yes, he was and his work will be missed. It's a shame Joe had no desire to find a way to keep the information alive on RR Lines. That is the reason I have so many files on modelers and their work.

BTW, as time permits, I'll add more of James' built models to the James Lucas thread.
