That’s Mr. Scum to you! :wink:

I started applying some weathering to the cab and hoods this evening, using successive layers of very thin washes.

Well, if that turns out anywhere remotely close to how flippin awesome the trucks and all came out, then, all I can say is, damn. Awesome!

Keep it up…md :slight_smile:

Ray, I’ve been watching this build with interest. It’s coming along very well.

This evening I finished wiring everything up (Revolution receiver, Phoenix sound board, new lights), tested it, and EVERYTHING WORKS!!! Whoohooo!

Of course, then I realized that I forgot to put the engineer in the cab, so now I have to open it all up again. :stuck_out_tongue:

Right now I can only run it back and forth on a 5’ section of track in the garage. I’ll have to wait a couple days for our latest batch of rain to stop, before I can clean up the layout and get it running out there. I haven’t been able to run anything on the layout since mid-October, due to the frequent rain this year.

Anyway, I still have a few things I need to do on the exterior of the loco before it’s officially finished.

Congratulations Ray. I look forward to seeing it.

LOL!!! Me personally I'd say the hell with it and play with it as is for a little until I couldn't take it anymore. ;)

The project is finished but here’s a construction pic that I hadn’t gotten around to posting before. It shows the windshield wipers I made for the loco, out of bits of brass wire:

And these do look really cool. I like how you have both the short kind and the longer versions too. Can't wait to see the whole thing in a decent setting though.

Mark, I posted pics of it on the layout, plus VIDEO, in another post on this forum. Look for the one titled, “RS-3 Kitbash finished”.

Edit: added a live link to the post showing the finished engine.

OH! Ok, gras! EDIT: Next time, maybe give me a link or something? I'm not exactly totally familiar with this forum yet. So, guess I'll just do searches to find it? Thanx.
