Re: Challenge 2015 - Peter Bowen - HO Roundhouse
Time to start the washing – I mean apply the washes…!!! Now that the first coat of undiluted paint has been allowed to dry thoroughly overnight, it is time to start the next step of applying diluted washes of paint on to the brick surface. This method involves applying thin washes which are essentia...

Re: Challenge 2015 - Peter Bowen - HO Roundhouse
The art of painting plastic…!!! As I mentioned previously, I wanted to show how to transform some great detail of the brickwork from a plastic look to a more realistic “weathered” brick look. In my clinic on “weathering” that I presented at the NMRA Convention in Derby in October I tried to show re...

Re: Challenge 2015 - Peter Bowen - HO Roundhouse
Source: Railway Preservation News I found the picture below taken in May 1968, not too long before all of the engines were sent to Strasburg. This is the kind of authentic setting I like to see locomotives displayed in. Roundhouse and coal dock were destroyed about 1986 or so, sadly. http://stlandh....

Re: Challenge 2015 - Peter Bowen - HO Roundhouse
Research on the actual Northumberland PA Roundhouse. Until the late 1960's it was the home for the PRR's Historic Steam Locomotive collection. It's since been demolished and the area has been reclaimed by vegetation. Photos taken in the late 1960's and early 1970's http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uplo...

Re: Challenge 2015 - Peter Bowen - HO Roundhouse
I have always been familiar with doing a lot of research and studying photos, drawing plans and trying to imagine what the structure will look like before attempting to start fabricating parts, but this has all been done and when I opened the box, there it is all of the parts and a very simple plan....

A kit you say - that sounds like a formidable task for a serial scratch builder - and I must confess that the last plastic kit I built was an Airfix kit when I was 14!! so YES this will be a challenge for me. I purchased two unma...

AP Chief Dispatcher
A number of us have expressed interest in getting on with the requirements for AP Chief Dispatcher. The time has come and I personally want to get on with it and have a thought that it might be a good encouragement for us as members to give it a go and perhaps encourage other non members to join in....
