Talc and cornstarch is a hard mixture to explain to someone. An old hand taught me how to use it on bronze statue restoration. It's one of those things that works. When you have it right. You can mix it with shoe wax(Shinola) also. Do you know the difference ?

I don't know shit.

The old Belgium guy that taught me these tricks would ask. "Do you know the difference between shit and shinola?" Every time we worked with it. Then he would tell me. "If you have shit on your shoes" Your wife will say" You've been to the dog park". "If you have shinola on your shoes." "Your wife will ask Who's the other women?"

Jon,
Very nice. I remember that you had some very nice stuff on your 3 R layout.
This proves that there can be some transfer from one to the other.
When are you going to do a loco, preferably steam?

[2railjon]

Roger, possibly something small like a D6 and for a good price so if I butcher it it won’t be a big loss!

SMR imported the D6:

Do a D7 and do 2 of them - I'll take the 2nd one off your hands!

Rufus, he made some pretty fine period locomotives! I see he’s still in business:

No new loco’s though.

I did see his stuff 8years ago at York.
Thought it was beautiful.

Jon, you need to kake it the way Bob Turner does.

Sadly, no. I had always hoped that he would get around to doing the CVRR Pioneer and maybe the Jenny Lind engines, but I guess they are still on my own "to do" list that I will pursue in my copious quantities of free time.

Nice looking caboose there Jon, I didn't catch if the Gloor Craft kit came with decals/dry transfers?
Assuming this get's the "Erie" scheme though as an aside I believe that design works for O&W too.

Here's a color shot of a similar car wearing a post war configuration from George Elwood's Fallen Flags site,

though imagine you'd want the older scheme to match your camelback 0-8-8-0?

Neat project, have enjoyed following this.
