Breathing life back into this beast hoping to become a GP30 HH unit for my freelanced road.

Got a PNW resin GP30 cab with high hood for my GP30 and it went south from there.

As the PNW part was for a phase 2 unit and my models are phase 1 unit's so I ended up cutting away most of the cab from the PNW part keeping the nose and cab brow.

I then altered the cab on my GP30 as I will try to graft these parts together to get a HH GP30.

More to come.

Hi everyone,

I am planning on painting several brass locomotives with Scalecoat I in black, green, and graphite primarily. Do you have any tips or techniques, especially with cleanup? I shoot a Paasche VL and have attached manuf. information to avoid duplication of information.

Thanks ahead of time!

1. Disassemble model completely.

2. Thoroughly clean all parts to be sprayed, using any type of household dish soap such as Dawn™ detergent. Clean and rinse with extremely hot water. Air-dry all parts.

I have posted many photos of my layout. All of them have been the 'plywood pacific' variety. After years of trackwork and wiring, I finally started to cover up that plywood and foam with some basic scenery.

Since the last ballasting I did was around 1992 or so, I had re-learn how to do it, plus how to weather the ballast and track. Like most things I try, I started out terrible, but got better the more I do.

Hi - I'm trying to model a GP38-2 that belongs to the Lake County Railroad.  The color it has is a pretty common one for Helm Leasing GP38's, but I can't seem to match it.  Does anyone know an off-the-shelf color that matches?  I don't mind mixing, but if anyone has used something that works, I'd love to find out which one it is!

Thanks!!!
