From a vendor (Hint, while not a supporter of this magazine, the vendor was mentioned in my City of Miami article as they supplied the weight systems and the body mount coupler setups).  I have also used his weight systems on my 13 IC boxcars, 20 Athearn tank cars, 16 IC Accurail Gondolas, and quite a few other pieces, so I am a good customer as well....

Got Rust?  Are you working on some weathering? Rolling stock or structure?

Please post them here and share your technique.

Currently under construction is UP's M-10005 'City of Denver' in 1.7"-scale ´(running on 7 1/4" tracks).

Kind of a step-by-step visualization of the construction:

Frame and driveline

Basic subconstruction of the shell - the nose-core is shaped of foam and will be removed later

First of my really big streamliners (1.5"-scale) was the (in-)famous 'Aerotrain', GM's contribution during the light-weight-trainmania of the mid-50's.

building the shell - glass-fiber layers on subconstructions (fiber-board, steel tubes etc.)

shell and chassis disassembled with a look into driveline-setup
