I have a lot of respect for "rivet counters," people who do really accurate models. I like the sense of integrity and craft and respect for history. But there's nothing wrong with being playful either, and really, it's a tiny train running past giant plants. I decided to go for the fantasy Atlantic

I'm not very good at this stuff, and I'm nervous about cutting up a perfectly good locomotive, so I figured I post all my justifications. Also anyone else who's a beginner might benefit from it

Hi guys, I painted the locomotive back in March but for whatever reason, never got around to updating this blog. I worked with Dave Fletcher to get the real decaling for the locomotive, but due to getting laid off, it didn't make sense for me to have these decals made. I am not too happy with the way the tender paint turned out (too streaky), but otherwise, I like the overall look of the locomotive. I left the boiler blue for the same reason as not ordering the decals...
