General Electric 70 Ton Diesel Locomotives

I have two of these models, both numbered after my kid’s birthdates. Check them out in the galleries below:

#20 – Lexie Lou

Very pleased with the way the oils have come out on the 70 Tonner.

Weathering continues on the GE 70-Tonner. More oil filters, and work on the stack and greasy oil deposits from the exhaust. More to come once this lot has dried.

The driver’s side is no slouch either, and the rust marks from each of the windows while very subtle makes the windows I think.

I was very pleased with the staining from the exhaust on the fireman’s side of the body.

The exhaust stack is very pleasing.

There’s a variety of tone, highlights and shades
