I finished painting my tender and put it back together. All I need to do is make two tool boxes, add some tools onto the tender and I want to put two lanterns on either side of the tender.
Shawn,
You said - “(Im the type who never sits always out doing something-ADD)”
In an earlier time before it was considered a career to give initials and write a book about normal behavior that was different from their own, that was called ENERGY and considered a good thing.
Your work is an example of the creative mind you are blessed with and you shouldn’t need to apologize to anyone.
Your work looks fantastic.
Looking good Shawn — I like that little tender 
Looks Great Shawn!
Now I vote for some Flat Black on the Cab of that loco!

Shawn,
Your work came out swell. Very nice!
And…not wishing to differ from Cale’s suggestion…I’d consider painting the loco cab the same shade of brown as on the tender.

an equally good idea!
No no not yet, he has to carve it up into a Camelback or a Falk or a…
Nice tender! It’s always amazing what can be accomplished with a few basic tools, a little paint, and some imagination.
I have not been able to get much done on my backwoods rolling stock. Im into the busy season at work. The few days off I had I went camping or just sitting enjoying the trains running. I did get a little more detail done on my tender. I added some rails using a coat hanger and I made little tool boxes out of wood. Also got another log car painted and ordered two more of the hartland log cars. Still waiting for one more to come in. I have not been able to get anything on my boxcar done yet. I am even thinking of putting it to the side for a while. I really would like to get that small caboose started. That will probably be next on the list. My layout is filling in although it will probably take until next summer to get it to where I want it.
