Several months of work practically completed, but this car is still technically not yet done. Lettering is done, car has a flat finish and is mechanically sound. Its good to roll as it is.

Weathering? That I still need to do, but I don't have the skills for that just yet.

A new caboose joins the fleet. I commissioned a friend to repaint this WalthersProto G2 caboose into a nice tribute Gorre & Daphetid waycar. It started out as Burlington Northern, standing in for a Northern Pacific prototype (which would've been at the very end of its regular service life).

A couple months later here is the finished result, and I am happy with how it looks! In time, I will attempt to weather the car accordingly and I will put it to use behind my growing G&D fleet.

Yes, some marker lights are missing but I have replacements on hand and they will be fixed accordingly.

More random modeling showcase. Won this replica of Gorre & Daphetid #8 "Sgt. Ennis" off of eBay some time ago, one of my best performing models to-date. They really don't make them like they used to. Sometime in the future I plan to have this engine repainted to better resemble the original, which had a deeper red scheme and gold lettering instead of silver/white and yellow.
