I have been repainting some MTH 19th century cars and adding/upgrading some details… This 34’ car was painted with Tamiya red-brown paint and decaled for the Long Island Railroad. I also added a brake platform and a new brake wheel and stem. The car was weathered afterward…   Another MTH car that started as a MTH 2000 club car. I stripped it and repainted it with Scalecoat II boxcar red paint. It is lettered for the St.L.I.M&S railroad. The decal set came from K4 decals. They sell a nice selection of vintage railroad decals. This car also received a new brake wheel and stem, plus a scratch built brake platform. No weathering for this car, just a flat black wash overall…   Finally, a MTH Bobber caboose I repainted for the Long Island Railroad. I gave it a couple washes with thinned flat black paint. This cabin car may receive some frame work to make installation of PRR type caboose steps.  Tom |

Some recent 19th century car projects. Here are a few cars I stripped and repainted. They were all the silver and purple MTH commemorative cars. I stripped them, added some details and painted them. Decaled with K4 decal sets…    This car has a MTH factory paint scheme I liked. I added the details and weathered it…  I found Vallejo washes are very good for the weathering process. They come in different shades depending on the color you wish to age. I used five different washes on this car. Tom |

They all look great! I especially like the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska and the Baltimore & Ohio.
