Train Restoration

Working to restore this 7 1/2" gauge train back to its original glory.

I got the engine stripped down to the frame today.

Still working on a game plan for the body of the engine.

Using Klean Strip Aircraft Paint Stripper to remove paint from the outside. I wanted to retain the definition in the rivets and edges.

Cab is primered with zinc chromate primer.

and painter RED!

The trucks haven't seem much care over the years.

They get sand blasted and new bearing are installed.

I didn't care for the wooden gondolas being painted black.
