The "new" JJJ&E In N Scale

[PRR Modeler]

Very nicely done. Do you run them for awhile after you super detail them before you paint them to make sure there are no issues?

My original post to Curt's question about super detailing is now missing as well all my subsequent posts I made this afternoon February 25, 2017. To answer your question Curt, I constantly run the locomotives I'm super detailing to make sure there are no shorts, which can happen when dealing with such small parts. When all the detail parts have been added to a specific steam locomotive and I'm satisfied the way it performs , then I paint the locomotive, detail parts and tender. When all the painting is completed, Then I'll weather the locomotive accordingly.

Stay cool and run steam.........

An old sepia photo of a brass Key Imports PRR M1A #6750 is on the mainline east of San Marino entering the right turnaround area of the JJJ&E. I installed a Lenz silver mini decoder and a Soundtraxx Micro Tsunami decoder and a Zimo sugar cube  speaker in the tender.

An old color photo of a Black Wartime SP GS-4 #4438 entering San Marino with a major RR crossing in the background. SP painted their GS-4's black during the WWII years, as the SP "Daylight" colors were too conspicuous.

An old albumin photo  of a panoramic view of a SP "Black"GS-4  #4390 in the center of San Marino.


" Albumen prints are a variety of photographic paper print in which a finely divided silver and gold image is dispersed in a matrix of egg white. Such prints constitute by far the largest category of objects in 19th century photographic collections. "

Nice photos. The building with the 4 turrets on the corners is very interesting visually.

Thanks Curt. That building is an N-Scale Architect Meat Packing Plant. It has a very large foot print for N Scale. Adjacent to the Meat Packing Plant is a stockyard, also from N Scale Architect.

Thanks Tom. Just trying to show what can be done in N Scale. At the tender age of 76, I have no problem working in N Scale.
