Love how it came out I like when people use their own ideas and colors everything doesn't have to be the same all the time great imagination my friend keep up the good work and I'll keep watching
Your projects are very inspiring. I like the high quality without a lot of money. Most forget these are just toys. Not priceless collectibles. Keep up the do it yourself that anybody can tackle type projects. It’s really no different than building a model car or airplane. This is a hobby/toys that has a lot of satisfaction in doing it one’s self. Sure beats purchasing the high dollar scale stuff which in all likelihood is made in china.
I recall an article many years ago in Model Railroader magazine where the author used a drafting circle template on a sheet of waxed paper to make headlight lenses. The author poured C A cement into the desired diameter circle & let it harden.
Probably far easier today would be to use clear UV resin that’s sold for hobby 3D printers. I modified a cheap flashlight which used 5mm LEDs, replacing them with UV LEDs. Now I can make things like windows and headlights by pouring in a little resin and then hardening it with my UV flashlight.
I used Pages on my Mac but I think you could use Microsoft Word as well. And I’ve seen some people who use Photoshop. Most of my images just come from the internet and I do lines and lettering in Pages.
You are very patient with that masking tape and your decals!
Thanks Robert. 😃
The black nose is a cool idea. 🛵
Thanks!

Very nicely done ✔
Thanks! Happy New Year!
Very impressive. That's not an easy task.
Thank you!
Looks really sharp, kind of an inverted version of the "black bonnet" scheme that the Santa Fe initially proposed
Thanks. I haven’t heard of the black bonnet paint scheme. I’ll go look it up. Have a good weekend. 👌

I'm going to do that to some of my HO trains, just need to get a working color printer to make the decals. Nice job on this one, looks cool!
Thanks! Good luck with your project. 🤓
If you like it THAT is all that matters.
Thanks. 😀
Great work
Thanks Paul.
Sick!
Outstanding work! I would like to try this, but I don't have any postwar shells. Maybe the next train show I'll find one.
I’ve had pretty good luck at train shows. Have a great weekend! Bob

Super looking and unique version of a black bonnet, Bob! One of your best projects, yet! Thanks. T4
Thanks. Have a great week!
I just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks very much! 👍
Nice engine Bob. Made a tribute to Right of Way Industries if you’re interested.
I’ll check it out. Are they the company that makes switches?
@@bobsworkshop5181 yes. They also made brass trains.
I need to make a meteor decal for a steam engine I want to build, can you tell me what program you used for the decals?
