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 …

A new commissions project is finished.
Some more heavy fading of the base color and medium weathering with some exhaust-burn marks.

Model BLI GE AC6000

Model BLI GE AC6000

One more custom job with the URR fleet.
This time a VO1000, complete repainted to URR rare gray/yellow paint scheme.
Some heavy weathering applied.

One of my rare works in a foreign scale.

HO double door boxcar repainted, lettered and weathered for Central of Georgia.

My most recent outcome of my creative work.

Again a KATO SD70ACe, complete repaint as Ferromex FXE #4006

Added some very light weathering.

One more from the workshop.
This time Norfolk Southern #1111, the “barcode” unit. Kato SD70ACe model.

Weathering using powdered pastels, even for fading the black.

Finished another GE ES 44 AC for Ferromex. This time road number #4632 recieved a little bit of weathering.

Recently finished another custom weathering job. This time a GE ES 44 AC, representing the “Ferromex” Ferrocarril Méxicano #4601.

Weathering was requested after a prototype photo, showing a some heavy sun bleaching on the red-colored parts. But it seems the have repainted the brake-wheel.

Currently finished USRA Heavy Mikado 2-8-2 from BLI.
Converted the road lettering from factory MILW to CNW with custom designed decals.
Slight weathering applied all-over the engine using acrylics and pastel powders.

I did a URR MP15DC in the past. Today I had three more engines on my workbech to add the special sandhatches and walkways.

Sandhatches are resin printed parts I designed after proto-photos to fit the stock sandhatch.
Walkways are photo etched nickle-silver parts.

Below are two of them, with a decent weathering.

Recent commission work.
Texas Mexcian F7A #800

One of my few work in HO scale.

Full body paint, lettering and herald are decals.
Some custom designed detail parts like the backup light, spark arrestors, bell and firecracker antenna
