The problem with waiting too long to do the Herald King projects is that some manufacturer eventually does whatever you were planning to do, and usually just after you've finished it. Witness the most recent Walthers Flyer. On page 4 or 5 is the same EL boxcar that I just finished with the correct paint scheme and number. And it even has the trust certificate data stenciled on the upper left hand corner per the prototype, which isn't on mine.<br /><br />The wooden ramp is basswood that I stained with a mixture of Poly Scale paints and water. You can get the formulas in the May 2011 QAT section of MRH here if you are interested:http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/magazine/mrh-2011-05-May/mrh_qat .<br /><br />TomTom Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787028891178734529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777066647675257012.post-35378055524625972532012-04-04T14:03:55.467-04:002012-04-04T14:03:55.467-04:00Yes, old Herald King decals waiting for the projec...Yes, old Herald King decals waiting for the project to get moving. I still have a number of these as well, but have recently made some progress with a few 'new' cars making their way onto the layout. <br /><br />I like your painting on the wooden ramp of the tipple. Was that styrene? you did a great job capturing the look of real wood with subtle variations.Mike McNamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12902543654492633693noreply@blogger.com
