Quote from: Hauk on July 04, 2024, 10:49:58 AMNot sure how many pieces of rolling stock that is optimal for the scene. Might be enough with a disassembled engine.

I can only agree! Too many pieces would eventually distract from the main object.

Just a recent photo to show that the project is alive. Not shure how many pieces of rolling stock that is optimal for the scene. Might be enough with a disassembled engine.

By the way, when I blackened the trucks I rediscovered a useful truth about Birchwood Casey blackening: Aluminum blackening is much more effective on brass than BC brass blackening!
