Model Railroading > Just for you Espeeboy... Another patch!

Ok Ryan,
The GP60 was too much??? I have no shame.... HeHeHe

Had me fooled for just one second there but now I see it is brass and I am not ashamed of my (not yet glossy) pair of Athearn SD70M's. Unpatched Athearn SD70M's I might add - the way God intended them to be!!!

Glad you are having fun patching beautiful stock brass Andy. Only thing is that I think I'd end up shooting myself if I was forced or looked forward to patching SP brass locomotives (that is if I owned any).

on the ex-SP/WP Oakland sub MP11.2

p.s. - You're killing me!

Nothing like a GLOSS finish!! I can smell that paint!
Hey every engine looked like that at one time.
People tell me my engines look too clean, may I borrow your photgraph?

Patches are fun, nice looking unit! Keep patching!!!!!!!!!

Cya Down the Line!

Well to be the practical anti-patch fan here, the SP patches NEVER have looked that clean or glossy - NEVER.

But still, Andy likes that fantasy UP/SP stuff on his model RR so anything goes! ;)

Sweet photo of a sweet model! Now did you really apply those decals? Or are they just a temp job? No decal solution I mean.

I believe it is a temp. job. I don't think anyone would really patch a beautiful brass loco, as you could ruin the finish of such an expensive loco. Besides, the loco is way too clean. I'd do this on a plastic loco, not brass.
