I drybrushed over the original paint, added a Cigar Band, then drybrushed over that. I want to represent the passage of time. It will receive a ‘PC’ on the nose and a PC road number, minimum markings for an aging locomotive. This is for my PC Mail Train.

I picked the EWS version as my previous BR large logo 37410 just looked too good to do.

I modeled it as an N&W car, but still in Wabash colors circa 1975. I used this 1975 photo for reference (NOT my photo).

**Wabash was merged into the N&W in 1964

Used acrylics & powders. The roof was painted silver with subsequent layering of raw & burnt sienna to get a three-dimensional effect. The car was cheap ($5) so I experimented a lot with this one.

I think they turned out okay…but I definitely have a long way to go toward making it look more realistic.

I did a base coat of translucent white to give the black finish a faded look. I used a variety of different methods next, but mostly stuck to streaking the sides with acrylic and…

Freight locos go longer between washes and are ideal inspiration.
