After almost a year I finally sat down and started working on my HLW ore cars and weathering the HLW Mack engine. I put nice wood decking on the ore cars and spray painted them giving them a more weathered look. I added bachmann couplers to them and took an solder soder gun and melted dents into the ore cars. I also repainted the mack engine. I painted the cab a nice flat hunter green and the body I painted the camo brown with a lighter coat of black. It was an easy project and went fast. I really like the mini series HLW makes.

I took my old gondola I made using a HLW flat. Now it sits outside the mine to rot. I put some hens and chicks instead. I got the idea from the Daisy Beach RR

I like what you did with the ore cars. They look super
I like the 0-4-0 also

Looks good! Ya’ know my wife had hen’s and chick’s in a ceramic shoe for like 3yrs outside and they really did nothing. I hated that stupid shoe and told her I would like to move them around Lemo…I did and they went crazy, you can see them under the Hosta on the back side of the tower spreading out in spring. I love’em

Shawn, again you take the opportunity to show what can be done with the HLW stuff…Nice job!

I really dig those Macks, have 3, one converted to Batt, one Track pwr for the Christmas tree and one still in the box (clear)…some car kits too…nice rugged stuff for the price…
