Still work in progress, but the graffiti is pretty much done. Weathering next. #modelrailroad #modelrailway #modelrail #hoscale #modeltrains #bsmrguk #trains 1173
SpotGideon @shepf.art · 20hlearned that it pays to pick up the phone and call a model railroad store, even if they don't have a website to order from! was looking for some older Centralia Car Shops cars, which they didn't have, but they DID HAVE an old Rapido BN Executive 4-car set from 2015 which was limited to 100 units 3340
