Watching the wonderful series on air brushing made me realize I need a better way to clean my Iwata. I saw this great idea on TMTV and ordered one up. Now I won't be losing all those fiddly bits from taking apart my air brush to clean. Now, where is my airbrush?

My previous blog entry showed were I started a week ago. I took the segment outside to document the current state.

This shot is impossible to do once the segment is installed in the layout. We're standing "in" the roundhouse and look North towards the freight shed.

"AND ON THE THIRD DAY WORKING ON THE RAILROAD, GOD PAINTED THE SKY USING A MINI-ROLLER AND ARTIST BRUSH FOR DETAIL AREAS."

I have added a number of new things on my Wordpress blog if anyone would like to take a look.

I’m a steam-era modeler - and steam-era means plain bearing trucks.  Plain bearing trucks - especially the wheels - “dirty up” in a much different way than modern roller bearing trucks - they’re oily and gunky in a fabulous way.

I picked up my three Genesis GP39-2 locomotives decorated for the Portland & Western last Friday - and promptly hauled them on a weekend vacation to Leavenworth, WA for a get together with some people I'd served with in Southern Germany in the early 90s.

Tonight, I got to take some photos.... sorry if the exposure is a little sketchy in some, I'm still working out this whole flash thing, after having decided to try that instead of continuous lighting.
