Rattle Can Paint Job

At my fall steamup I was presented with an AML -0-6-0 that someone wanted to sell, so I ran it. Here’s the funny part this little engine pulled more cars around my RR with the grades than my $7000 Aster Berkshire(recently sold). Anyway… $550 so I bought it. Then I traded an F3 ABA set for an almost new one… because my 4 year old grandaughter likes running it. Washed number one in acetone, spayed the white lettering areas with Krylon white primer, added 1/2" vinyl letters from the hardware store, sprayed more white to seal the lettering edges, then sprayed grey/black Hi temp stove paint over the whole thing(Rustoleum), peeled off the lettering and …there you have it. I had peviously added rc to the throttle and Jbar. Servos are between the frame out of sight. Battery, RX, switch in the back of the tender. Added a Summerlands chuff pipe I got from SilverState. Bottom line is I love this thing. A classic case of “less is more” Who knew :wink: Stock

Painted…Cab is not mounted…ergo crooked.

Looks great Larry.

Your paint job looks great, Larry. Just don’t go paintin’ on no viaducts, overpasses and stuff. :slight_smile:

Now that , really looks like the steam locomotives that I remember seeing .

I paint viaducts and stuff all the time… here’s one I painted :wink:
