Aerial views of MOW cars - great for weathering

Sun, 2019-07-28 05:37 — IAISfan

A few of my fellow IAIS fans know of my fondness for modeling the railroad's MOW fleet. In fact, one of my planned near-term projects will involve patching and weathering IAIS ballast hopper 9719 and MOW flats 9001, 9003, 9010, and 9011. In order to help me, Erik Rasmussen took his drone up above a string of IAIS MOW cars tied down in Rock Island, IL, as well as one in Newton, IA a couple years ago, and got a bunch of really helpful aerial photos. Shortly afterward, Barry Anderson spotted a couple of IAIS's very cool ex-RI 53' GSC/GSI flats, sisters to the IAIS

Think about the times it would have taken to load old style boxcars with this amount of freight !!

This will be a couple of posts on adding decals to number boards. Bill Berlinger sent me a set for a locomotive I’m upgrading/updating. I thought I’d share the journey.

2019 St. Louis RPM

The thirteenth St. Louis Railroad Prototype Modelers meet kicked off July 26th in Collinsville, IL. I was there with a few hundred modelers when the doors opened. Tables filled quickly with a variety of models.

Airbrush siphon bottles

Fri, 2019-07-26 14:08 — Graham Line

I'm stumped. My Badger 200 airbrushes work perfectly well with color cups, but sometimes I have a large area to work on, and drawing paint from a bigger siphon bottle makes more sense. But recently, they aren't working. I'm spraying at pressures anywhere from maybe 15 to 25 psi, but the paint won't pick up.
