Patched and weathered GP35.

Here's a GP35 I just patched out and weathered for my short line, the Great Lakes Central.







It's an Athearn, with the clunky handrails.  The blue stripping, and WC colored lettering is from a long gone previous lay out.  It started out as an Erie.  I've had this forever.  It's also the first loco I ever installed a decoder in.  Still a smooth runner!

That sucker needs a trip thru the wash rack. Nice job on the weathering.

Excellent job on a well used shortline unit! Nice overall weathering although a few touches of rust would have added a lot of depth and age to the unit. But still a very nice unit! Good Work!
