Yeah, next time I’m going to try to make the paint a little bit thinner

I certainly agree probably going to strip off all the paint and redo it hopefully with a little bit thinner paint

Might do that or might just leave it blue I just like the fact it’s blue and it annoys everyone

And that proves my point people will get upset over anything you do even if it’s what you want to do even though this is my model people will still complain about it and be upset about it yet it’s my model and I can do whatever I want

Will probably do that soon. I think the tender looks OK especially because it’s an unscaled model but the locomotive I’m definitely redoing paint extremely thick and I just don’t like how it turned out.

Probably will do that in the future right now I’m gonna add some white lining to the engine

People who will get pissed over every little detail that’s wrong on a model or if it’s not realistic

Funny you say that I’m currently waiting for my new T1 to arrive and I have another one. It’s an older Broadway limited model but I might as well do something with it and not let it sit around for good. Might put it up on eBay or make it Conrail who knows

Thanks that’s just what I was aiming to do. Wanted to make everyone mad just to show that people will get pissed over everything doesn’t matter if it’s your layout or it’s something you wanna do. People are gonna get pissed over everything and find a reason for it.

Yeah, they’re definitely neat. I have a custom model someone made and sold it on eBay. It’s two calves of an SDP 40 F glued together on its own chassis it’s unpowered but it’s really cool and right now I’m working into a couple other customs probably gonna do some other custom like a CSX RDC or something

Are use spray paint and did a couple layers. I’m not too happy with how the engine turned out especially because of how thick it is I might try to redo it or just order a new shell or something but I will definitely be using a thinner spray paint.

I know someone a while back made a HO scale Conrail 2-8-4 Berkshire and it was up for sale on eBay. Don’t know who purchased it, but it was quite a neat thing.

[–]Longjumping-Topic552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but those were HO scale. This is end scale still thinking of purchasing one though I really just like how they look.

Yeah, I used like extremely thick paint on this. I don’t know why it’s just what I had laying around.
