<div dir="auto">Hi, <div dir="auto"><br><div dir="auto">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. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Who do I talk to about writing it?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">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.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Here is a shot of the car half re-assembled.</div><div dir="auto"><br><img src="cid:ii_19303e501b82e8ab6574" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">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.</div><div dir="auto"><br><img src="cid:ii_19303de151420c7c25d2" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><br><img src="cid:ii_19303dea0ddf5ca0dd03" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><br>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.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">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.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">David Baker</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 6, 2024, 6:22 PM NW Modeling List <<a href="mailto:nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org">nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">David,<div>Your story of making this beauty would make a great article for the Arrow.
