Rob models the modern Canadian National and recently completed the weathering on this BC RAIL C63oM

Rob tried a fade technique on this CN GP40-2LW 9661 (Atlas - older run). He included the rear unit to show the difference between this latest attempt and my 'chipping.'

Rapido Trains VIA LRC 6914 locomotive with Rob's perfect weathering for a client.

Rob's (ex-Soo Line) CP SD60 slightly weathered.

 Rob also weathered more oily, chippy CN branch line power in the form of A-1-A trucked CN GMD1 1012.

CN GP38-2 4775; HO scale Athearn Genesis GP-38-2(W). Weathered by Rob of course. 

Rob did some more subtle weather to represent this VIA passeger FPA4 in service. 

 A CN A-B in the 1960's era stripes look lovely! 

A Soo Line SD-60M with Rob's subtle weathering.

 

Dave used a bit "modeling license" here, and created this what if CP Rail System SD40-2 B, with the Smokey the Bear tribute,.

 

 

GTW EMD GP38AC 1776 (nee-5808).

 It looks like Stan will finish up this kit bash modeling job now that he's retired.  started this back in 1985 or 86, just before he moved, he started this Athearn Blue Box GP38-2 and used part of a Atlas Concor shell GP38 to turn it into a GP38AC, Athearn just recently released the GP38-2 Bluebox model when I started this. Added a Canon Thinwall Cab scratch built the snow shields, and old Herald King Decals that already had been out of production then. It is repowered it with a Mashima Can Motor.  He also needs to obtain stanchions from Precision Scale as that's what he used but didn't have enough to do the rear end handrails.

N-Scale CN Service truck: Dave completed wheels for the boom truck out of a stack of discs from a paper punch  i made a clean circle in the first one then used it as the outer ---its sa little over sized for the truck but the feel is there and of course its N-scale --this will open doors to more projects.  PHO
