How To Light Rapido SW1200 Numberboards (HO Scale)
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.2 года назад
While working on a pair of Rapido SW1200s I painted for the Pittsburg and Shawmut, the customer asked if I could add lights to the numberboards. To my surprise, there was plenty of room to do so and I figured I'd share it with you all.

This is an HO scale SD80MAC that I painted for a customer as a CSX Chessie System heritage unit. Has pre-installed LokSound and was given new ditch lights and operating red marker lights. Also did the ES44AC to simulate accident damage.

Просмотров 5972 года назад
These are two Athearn Yellow Box Genesis Union Pacific SD70Ms done for a customer. These older models require all separately applied detail to be installed by the modeler. Both models were renumbered and Loksound 5 was installed along with LEDs. To finish them off, they received yellow reflective frame stripes.
Weathering An HO Scale SD70ACe
Просмотров 27 тыс.2 года назад
Welcome to the first all-out detailed weathering project on the channel. I bought this UP SD70ACe with the intention to weather it and this is how it came out. Used about every trick in the book from washes to airbrushing to powders to kick up spray. This unit will be for sale eventually but for now I'm enjoying watching it run. Thanks for watching!

Painting An N Scale Southern Pacific E9
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.2 года назад
On today's episode of "I can't believe I painted that," I work on my first N scale model which was a commission from a friend. It is an EMD E9 by Kato painted to represent Southern Pacific 6051 in the bloody nose scheme. This scheme isn't all that complicated but the size of the model and shape of the nose made it a little more challenging but all in all not that much harder. On this model, I u...
Repainting An HO Scale Rapido SW1200
Просмотров 10 тыс.2 года назад
In this video, I repaint a Rapido SW1200 (Southern Pacific) into a customer's protofreelanced railroad called Sierra Central. This is the first in the fleet of a few engines painted for SCRR whose paint scheme is based off W. Allen McClelland's Virginia & Ohio. This model was surprisingly difficult to take apart but seeing how it was built taught me a few tricks I can apply to my own models. Ti...

    What is the fascination with Rapido trains?s I think they are way overpriced for a piece of plastic. I'd much rather spend the same amount and get a nice brass locomotive that will still be here long after I'm gone. Then I don't do DCC as I hate the tinny sound of HO DCC. If I want loco sounds I'll just turn on the stereo and toot on my wooden whistles. Do you paint brass models for folks? Cheers from eastern TN

    I don't know why they would use plastic handrails on an expensive loco. I hate the sound of HO DCC sound. It sounds so tinny. I'm strictly a DC guy. Atheran are the best models which I have besides the Atlas. I make my own rust for weathering. I take 2 rolls of 0000 steel wool and put it in a quart jar and fill it with white vinegar and set it in the window for a couple of months. Then I pour the mixture into a stainless steel 11X14 inch photo processing tray (any flat container will do) and wait for a couple of weeks for it to dry. I use a single edge razor blade and pulverize the "rust" into a fine powder for use as a weathering powder. It looks real 'cause it IS real rust. I usually heavily weather all my rolling stock and old engines. I've got three new Atlas engines I'm a little cautious about weathering, but I eventually will do it. Cheers from a 72 year old modeler from eastern TN

    Nice job! At first I thought you were using tamiya for the panel lines, but ammo works good too. Not many people know about or use the oil dot fade, overall, it looks good.I'm guessing you had an issue with the ditch lights not working due to the pogo pins not making contact, otherwise, why did you put a kadee washer under the pad? Sounds good and looks good pulling a consist. Terry

    • @sonomacustommodels
      @sonomacustommodels 9 месяцев назад

      Thanks. The panel liner is in fact made by Tamiya. The kadee washer was in there when I took the model apart. Perhaps they had issues at the factory.
