I completed three small projects in the last few days. Firstly, I finally got around to decalling and finishing my brass SP C-40-3 caboose:

Secondly, I resprayed this Walthers SP C-30-1, which had the post-1955 lettering and orange ends; too early for my 1954-era Coast Line layout (I only noticed that less-than-perfect "5" after I took the pic):

Lastly, this Atlas tank car was silver, and lettered for a NY-based company, so I resprayed it, and used my partner Jane's surname to create a small California-based fuel company, Filby Oils. The company letters are from UP sheets, the silver lines and shapes from a Santa Fe switcher sheet, and the and reporting data from a tank car sheet, all Microscale:

As always, thanks for looking.

Thank you for your support at this difficult time, Mr Boyask... I think I must have brushed it with one of my fingers after I applied the Micro Sol. but, as you say, worse things happened on the real railroad. I've a picture somewhere of a real Cab Forward fresh from the shops, in service, and lettered "Southern Pacfic".ednmra wrote:Nice! I wouldn't bother about the "5" - you see far worse on the real thing!

Excellent work Brian. What size and quality are the original photos? Have got possible use for one of a caboose if it's high enough quality.

I'll send you one of SP 1205, but not the one above of SP 315, and you can decide.
