budsworkshop Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I bought a broken Aristo Sesame Street Loco at the ECLST Show for $40 bucks. I took some parts I had,chopped it up and put it all back together, this is the result. It's not any specific loco just a fun conversion. Thanks for looking,Bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrown7713 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I think my T1 would look good with the color of finish that you have on your loco. What color or colors are the flat grey ones? Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What color or colors are the flat grey ones? Bob. Well it was a mix of what I had on had. Mostly just flat black spray paint from Home Depot. After it was dry then a lot of silver dry brushed on. I put some decals on the water tanks and then buffed most of them off to give it that faded out look. It's the dry brushed on silver that really does make it look weathered.

rbrown7713 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Thank you very much. I will try that, sounds like you know what you are doing. I am not much of a painter, so that will be interesting to try. Thanks for the procedure. Your engine looks fantastic, Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
