That's what I meant, thanks for your help, Ray. I found a lot of photos of locomotives from those times, such as this one:



You will notice that there are smooth metal surfaces even at the steps. No pattern at all ... ??? ??? ???

Hi Barney

Actually I am trying to bring all those different parts together. As I am forced to scratch build all parts I can't adjust them on the screen first. Often I have to redo or modify them with every newly finished part. That's very time consuming. To avoid boredom I am working on several different subjects simultaneous. On one day its the grundwork, then on the gears or the brass work. But very soon the fun begins again: Coloring and weathering !!!!    

Here the current status:

Looks fantastic.
I would love a tutorial on how you painted the gears and other metal parts!

You may ask yourself: "Well, how did I get here?"

The color and texture is so perfect, it's truly hard to believe it's not real metal.

Other than the camera angle it looks like the real thing!
