Done! Brass 4-6-2.

Well ladies and gentlemen it took me a while, but i just finished a custom paint job on a brass 4-6-2 sent to my custom painting business.

After 33.25 hrs, which includes, disassembly, painting, decoder installation, reassembly and touch up, Its time to break out some cherry coke and celebrate. Oh the fact that I’m $220.00 richer is a nice thought to.

What do you all think?

I’d say that’s quite an acheivement[:)], grayhound! I wish I $220.00 richer, then I could buy that Big Boy…

Congrats Jim. When do we see it?

As soon as I can get the pictures developed and posted to my web site.

Time and materials at $6.61 an hour. Thats a figure to conjure with.

Living is cheap in WY. Two bedroom apartment utilities paid. plus services. $475.00 a month. $100.00 pays for groceries for a month. Anything after is play money. Yahoo. (Plus having government subsidies inform of government grants for college helps to)
