Nice work Ralph. Looks great

Love the copper accents!

Got the tender painted. Didn’t have any clear waterslide paper left. So I printed the herald on white waterslide paper. I haven’t shot the clear coat yet. Deciding whether I like it or not before I seal it. Sorry for the crappy indoor photos…it’s been raining. Ralph

What a difference. Cab looks much better

Ralph, you done good… :slight_smile: nice looking locomotive…

Thanks guys. Here it is outside. Still needs a little touch up. I’m not sure if I like the round herald on the tender. May go back to traditional lettering. But I’ll leave it a bit and see if it grows on me. Ralph

Looks good. Looks like your grass is growing and is that a pink flower?

Downright spiffy little loco…:wink:

Now that’s a classy little lokie! And I kinda like the herald on the tender.

Looking good Ralph. If you have a steady enough hand to free-hand a line around the outside of the herald, that will probably make it look right to you. You could make it a black circle, or do black over the red and change to red over the black.
