Building the Canyon 13: Odds & Ends

The Canyon is about done; there's some touchup and minor details to be added, but other than building a stand for it, it's at a point where I'd be proud to display it publicly. So I've spent some time the last couple of days catching up on some backlogged projects.

I built the PNW Miniatures ore car that I bought way back in August. It was a pretty easy one evening build. It just needs lettering and a bit more weathering.

Added some weight to the PNW boxcar, and decaled a number on the sides. I have another Railroad Roman alphabet sheet on order, which will allow me to add initials. You'll note in this photo that I also did some weathering on the ore car.

And I added lettering to 0-4-2 #18.

The engine needs a coat of clear flat and some light weathering. I'll probably do that later in the week when the weather is nicer, since I do my spray painting outside.
