Chris, if I may, a suggestion for your railroad's next model -- a wash rack at the engine house. LOL! With all of the grimy power afoot, the motive power superintendent is soon to get a call from the fifth floor on Market St. What a well done weathering work does for realism.

The pictures displayed in the following order 3-2-4.
Number 1 did not show up, probably due to picture size.
It can be seen in my December 20th, 2017 blog post

Nice PRSL equipment rick

I did some work on two of my P2K gp 7's 635/36. Looking at my notes I painted 636 over three years ago the unit came with the 36" dynamic brake fan which I decided to change out using the Cannon 48" fan.



Besides the addition of the correct fan on 636 the weathering was reworked on both 635/36. both units had their weights milled using a Dremel tool to accept a TCS Kat3 WOW kit and TDS super sonic mini speaker...I got to invest in a mini milling machine.

Two views of 636 side 1



Side 2



635 sides 1&2



Both units on the Mine Hill
