Galax

[NW Modeling List]

I definitely look forward to seeing this article in the Arrow someday soon!

Which issue of Classic Trains had the Pullmans article you mentioned with the photo of the Galax in Florida?  Id like to see that one too.

David,
Those shots will form a great foundation for your article!  You can talk to Ken Miller (editor at nwhs.org<mailto:editor at nwhs.org>) or myself (jimdcochran at gmail.com<mailto:jimdcochran at gmail.com>) for article advice.
Looking forward to seeing/hearing your tale,
Jim

Hi,

Sure, I've never published anything like this before. I've been learning to paint and weather, and I have to admit I find it very fun. You can turn owning a coach into a hobby painting for quite some time.

Who do I talk to about writing it?

Here are a few photos I have on hand. I took some more along the way, or have others from some of the others I did. I've done 4 coaches, 1 baggage, and now this. Those are fun subjects because they were all treated differently, so I get to use different techniques and materials.

Here is a shot of the car half re-assembled.

Here is the side after I got the stripes on, I went through about 4 stripes per side with 4 more ruined until I got that ok. I've got a story about one side of this thing. It really looks different with the gloss coat of paint at this step.

That last one is how I removed the letters from it. I had to sand the raised letters after so I'm not sure I needed to do that.

PS: the Classic Trains special on Pullmans was a real good resource. It actually had a picture of the Galax in Florida after a run. It was a little cleaner then my version.

David,
Your story of making this beauty would make a great article for the Arrow.  Would you consider sharing your experience with us?

Did you take pictures of the process?  I would love to see them if you did.  Walter Davis

The Galax is set out after a long run. This started life as a green walthers 12-1.
