I did some painting and decaling on a T scale Reading Train Master.
I still need to touch up a few bits--the ends are black, the cab roof needs green (I missed that in painting and now have to re-mask for a touch-up). I think the Reading colors (Tru-Scale) I used were intended for the newer Reading diesels like the GP40-2s they got at the end. I'm kinda bummed because I really like the way that paint handles. I even added a drop or two of white to these. The yellow seems the most "off"-- too lemon yellow, not enough buff. I remember seeing an article where a modeler used a Tamiya paint (Khaki?) to make a Conrail patch RDG GP35. Or I can fade Reefer Yellow. Any suggestions for accurate Reading paint (I have plenty more H24-66 shells to test on)? I can always mix up something but it'd be nice for consistency to have a standard color.
I also installed a backdrop picture on the Fraser side of the M scale/1:300 WP&Y layout, with many thanks to
@Ed Kapuscinski . The depression (Fraser Lake) will be poured later once the transition scenery to the backdrop is done--a few trial vinyl rock strips are laid there and will probably be sunk into some drywall compound to create the transition.
The Fraser water tank/section house/modern-day restroom is done and waiting to be installed where the white styrene sheet (parking lot area) is in the foreground.
