N-Trizzy2609 Posted November 11, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 11, 2008 Got this model from Island Modelworks as a kit. It came unpainted but highly detailed. Now It's R160B 8972 and it's on a run. First Painted Silver: This Finished Product: "This is the Manhattan Bound Local Train. The next stop is: Church Avenue." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted November 11, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 11, 2008 Nice model, that R160B model as a is looking great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted November 11, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 11, 2008 Very cool looking. One thing though, I don't think spray paint is the best way to paint models. Very cool, I have been thinking about getting an R44 shell that a model company is selling on ebay. They also have R16s and R27/30s and trolleys. Do you mind if I ask how much that little number runs for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted November 11, 2008 This was about a good $55 wif a complementary decal sheet that i got at show which is $6 online. Paint is $15, so that's $76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted November 11, 2008 Share #6 Posted November 11, 2008 Yeah that's why the modeling hobby gets so expensive for yours truly...I work in HO scale and that is a lot of small parts and I don't have the precision skills to work with tiny parts (that's what she said ), and it's difficult to do the work with the kits myself. Plus I like my sets powered (have one motor car in the set), so that gets expensive quick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted November 11, 2008 Share #7 Posted November 11, 2008 Ok the bug got to me so I ordered an R44/46 shell. It's HO and unpainted with no trucks, I'll have to add pic here when I get it around the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioguy Posted November 11, 2008 Share #8 Posted November 11, 2008 I wish they sold powered HO sets of these at the Museum or even Toys 'R Us. I'd buy one. Can you snap a picture of the rollsign decals? The description on the website (IIRC) showed the wrong font being used. I hope they fixed that before they shipped.

Cyberider Posted November 11, 2008 Share #10 Posted November 11, 2008 Nice looking model, it looks better than the real thing. I do it on the cheap and easy with Proto 1000 R-17's I got on closeout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioguy Posted November 21, 2008 Share #12 Posted November 21, 2008 Still interested in the rollsign decals... One other thing. Has anyone done a recent model car (R160/R142/R143 etc) in a smaller scale like N, Z or T? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
