I managed to get a second Whitcomb 65DE19 done. 
Requested was the early gray / yellow URR paint scheme with some subtle weathering.

Another custom project is done.
Got another request for doing some CNW steamers. First of two is visually converted.

Below is a before, mid and after photo series

My most recent project requested by a frequent customer is finished.
Subject was to transfer a stock Piko Whitcomb into the look of a bit beaten URR #406.

Recently finished another custom project.
Back in 2022, I got a request from a client if I could bring some special cars to life.
These slab cars are typically used by URR to move hot steel slabs on their road.

Had them done some time ago at train-shows I attended with my workshop. But never showed them in my collection.

One unique car for my own collection was done recently.
As always a complete repainting and labelling for the Cleveland & Eastern RR was applied.
Folowed by some medium weathering.

Ein besonderes Modell für meine eigene Sammlung wurde kürzlich fertiggestellt.
Wie immer wurde eine komplette Neulackierung und Beschriftung der Cleveland & Eastern RR vorgenommen.
Anschließend folgte eine mittelstarke Alterung.

Another special design for this 2-bay hopper car.
Complete repainting and labelling based on the original photo of a former PRR, now Conrail hopper car.
Heavy weathering was also applied.

Another view from a custom commissioned work.

Completed the stock cars with accurate lettering and some weathering.

First test of some recently created new custom parts.
Two different style steel plate girder bridges and a small miscellaneous building.

Let’s see how the parts will fit together.

One of the currently finished projects. A rather rare repaint of a Bachmann 44Tonner switcher from “unlettered” to Claremont and Concord Rwy. (CCRR) #17.

A complete custom-built project got finished recently.

I had a customer request to recreate the unique look of URR‘s short-lived SD38-2 in N-Scale.
Body-parts like the hood, nose, cab and tank are 3D desinged and printed.
Some light weathering and et voilá …
