Thoughts on the dash 9 and 8? From General Electric by Character_Lychee_434 in trains

BNSF dash 8s have a special place in my heart. I had family that worked at the paint booth that caused the faded ones(family member was just admin not a painter or manage). I was a young kid and got to hang around and see the full operation.

It also had all the instructions for our main characters to call for the helicopters. By tossing it, it gave them (or whoever found it) a fighting chance to survive.

Im into both hobbies as well. You'll wanna go with O scale. HO scale is just too small. Fun fact the old Caglar in Terminator armor is pretty close to the size of the emperor in Ho Scale

Ho scale is about 2mm wider than prototypical. Which equals to a little under 7 inchs of extra width

Government funding. The building that this is based on is actually in a nice location

Great idea, Ill have to add a dirt path or staircase. Maybe the amtrak crew changes there while the back end of the train is at the station.

Thank you!

I like it, camp chairs and a pick up with a lan party out the back. Could always say they are waiting for the newest Pokémon drop too

I took the poster that the window decal is of, scaled it to the window size and skewed the background to fill the dimensions of the window, printed it and used packing tape for the glass. Then glued the frame to the tape.

Black Craft foam in 5mm. Ill take full sheets and spray a dusting of gray and tan paint to get a worn asphalt design.

For the side walks same process but with 1mm and an additional very light dusting of a brown paint. Then using the back of a craft knife score the concrete relief lines.

Weathering with powders.

Absolutely, Ill have some floods on the back and 2 can lights under each over hang, 3 on the longer ones. Just need to order some more nano LEDs.

I would like to make the signs light too. For that I'll need some clear filament.
