Ed Bommer and the Central of New Jersey

Postby R.K. Maroon » Sun May 25, 2025 11:16 pm

The recent thread "Airbrush Painting -- Old Dog Learns New Trick" documented my attempts at learning to use an airbrush to paint an IMP caboose. The caboose was needed for a video I was shooting of the CNJ in action on the club layout. This video, which features the models of Ed Bommer, is now complete. Ed is a highly-skilled modeler, a first-class super-cool dude, and, I am fortunate to say, a good friend. I have admired his work for many years and am very happy to have the chance to show off his fine work. The video can be seen at the YouTube link below:

Really nice video. Your models always look well cared for.

Mine are always covered in dust, with oil oozing out of the journal boxes. Insects don't help much, either.

Oddly realistic patina on that SP box car Bob, more dusty grime on the sides would further add to the look 8^)
Ed Bommer's CNJ models are fabulous and Jim adds to the overall "train-time at E-Port" look here with the RS and caboose.
That IR box cab is a fascinating model too.
Great looking trains!~
