The final touch I need to do on this C424, is to move the red painted area back to where I put the masking tape to be like its prototype, but the red area has already been weathered and I need to blend it somehow by painting it. Probably use an airbrush?

With sounds being a feature of the new trains coming out, we/I need to be focused on reducing the noise from train running. I've picked my roadbed (synthetic felt soundboard) which is extremely quite but trying to find the best glue for the Ballast.

Here I'm beveling the edges for the roadbed

So I have this "Silver Streak" wood bobber caboose, in the "Ma & Pa" scheme... I want to keep the colours of the wooden sides, I just want to remove the "Maryland and Pennsylvania" lettering, while preserving the red paint (I don't want to have to try to match the paint)

Any tips on removing lettering from a wood side kit?

This is the kit:
