My 3606 former 5517.
 Not completely finished.I want to work on the weathering some more.Again,this was the Walthers 5517.I painted the side sill SCII RDG green using the air brush this time and removed the number with solvset and pearl pink eraser.Added the MS decals.  The grabs,railings and step edges were repainted using Floquil railbox yellow.The grillwork was painted oily black.Black chalk was also applied. The unit seems to be developing a rust problem on the short hood and roof.Over head views of 3600 and I believe 3601 inspired the application.  |

Finished up a Reading XAd auto-box, and caught it in some freight action. This was one of the first 35 sold by Dick Foley who will be presenting at the Modelers Meet II this fall. The one piece casting was really well done by Steve Funaro. Bill
