Thoughts of detailing N scale diesels

Jim, can’t agree with you more. A little detail goes a long way. Sometimes it is even only a one or two night project, but definitely adds to the model and realism.

I really enjoyed this article, I’ve learned a lot from Mr.Kelly since moving into n scale and enjoy his easy,down to earth writting style, but most I really enjoy reading articles like this on locomotive detailing. Well done!

I agree… I go for the extra details on the engines, whether they were steam or diesel.

I appreciate ANY article on N scale, but I’m a bit disappointed that other than the helpful tip on painting handrails there was little in the article to learn from, unless you model the Santa Fe. Sorry, but it left me wanting more.

Agreed with Geoffrey. Plus, Miniatures by Eric makes the part for snowshields, no need to scratchbuild unless you want to save a couple dollars.
