Repainting of an 100 year old Standard Gauge set.

Here is some updating, 
Primer 





And now painted, but not together yet







Still kinda sticking with the topic, I bought some more passenger cars,
the last two years of the 429,430,&431 the cars where orange. ( the 428 also but I'm missing that one. )

Missing 3 axles and 6 wheels ( all on order ) here is 429 Combo car


Here is 430 Observation car ( missing 2 axles and 4 wheels ) 

Also the hardest to find of the cars is 431 dining car, the diner car is the hardest to find as it was not sold as part of the set, it was a seperate sale item. 

Great work and fun thread to follow.

Great stuff! Not as eye-catching as your great-looking cars, but I have a 33/35/36 set in the paint shop at the moment. Seeing that shiny tinplate after removing a horrible black overpaint was refreshing, but priming is now done.

How common not sure the 402 was made from 1923 - 1927, the 402E was  1926 - 1929. If you have a 402 not a 402E someone put it in there, I have a 402E that someone took out the reverse unit it had and put in a postwar pendulum style E-unit. I'm not sure what the original E-units looked liked, but do know from being told by others the prewar E-units either work good or don't work, and are a pain to get right. Probably why mine was switched out, 

I have that engine also, and I also have the MTH remake for Lionel in 1988, which I think has the same E-Unit. (This is what I have been told. )

traincollector, firewood: I am enjoying hearing about the painting and E-Unit work. Alfred
