DO YOU LIKE TRAINS TOO? "NEW ADDITION"

[MrT]

I am getting ready to start on only my second diorama and it will be called "DO YOU LIKE TRAINS TOO?". I am a little intimidated by dioramas because every aspect of modeling is touched on and if any one of them is not done well it effects the whole project. I have decided not to reveal the theme of the dio as I want you to figure that out as we go along, but I think it will become clear soon enough. One of the main components of this diorama will be the Trumpeter 1/35 scale BR52 locomotive and that is where we will start. I will be doing a early/pre-war black and red paint scheme because I want the locomotive to be the lure that draws the viewer into the scene. As we go along I will be adding several figures and other equipment so stay tuned. While this project won't measure up to a Bob Letterman standard I hope it will tell the story I am shooting for.

:woohoo: This one i'm really looking forward to see come alive!
Working on a train myself a little now and then, the WR 360 C12 Diesel locomotive from Trumpeter.
Any aftermarket stuff going in to this one?

I finished step 1 of the locomotive. It hit me just how big this thing is. The frame is well over a foot long.

Looking forward to this one, been interested in building one of their train kits for awhile, but just havent ever had the ability to pull the trigger.

This is gonna rock! I built the Trumpeter 1/72 scale version of this same engine; I have two WC-360 engines from Trumpeter at the painting stage now. I can't wait to see more!

Thanks for stopping by!! Looking at the parts I have a lot of pin marks to fill and I have already come across some flash. So there's a lot of part clean up to do. Always my favorite part of model building.

Yeah, I remember that from mine as well. Still, it does turn out great.

Here's a little inspiration for you, even though I didn't do the same paint scheme as you plan to do:

Looking forward to more!

Looks great!

Didn't get to work on it last night so I guess I've already broken my promise. I did however recieve some Voyager photo etch for it yesterday.
