: Two tank cars located in Antonito were painted with the highly specialized ACROLON multipart paint - usually a marine finish. The surface is so hard that if any over paint is to be applied after a period of 60 days the surface must be abraded - in this case using #3 steel wool - E3VERYWHERE any paint is expected to be placed and wanted to stay! Here a team member is scraping within the new stencils. Hard work.

There is nothing like working on the 12" to the foot scale, the big problem is that the parts are so much heavier and dirty compaired to those plastic models that come out of a box. :lol:

Looks like Ed was on stilts or on the scissor lift to get a couple of those shots. :lol:

ED, Thanks for all the great pictures and verbal information about each project. Looking forward to seeing the tank cars on a photo freight . The car storage building with all the trim appears to be finished but better yet is the protection provided to museums rolling stock. Know that much progress was made on the wheel sets, all the different steps in building takes a great deal of time and effort. Again thanks goes out to the great meals crew. Fred Kuhns
