    I bought little tins of paint from the model section at Toyworld. I already have an airbrush and masses of paintbrushes due to being an art geek and my dad is a model railroader so I'm going to see if he can assist me. I'll post pictures when I get around to starting.

    Sorry to interrupt with something slightly off-topic; but I just noticed the highlighted Jena, is it HO scale that your Father is in to?
    My father is into Scale Steam Locomotives too, though of a slightly larger variety.

    My dad's trains are N scale. They're pretty cool. I even made him set up a blog on wordpress for his trains.

    That's awesome, unfortunately I think that the old Steam Loco Hobbies are on their last legs as fewer and fewer people seem to be taking up those hobbies with fewer and fewer kids ever even seeing/knowing what a Steam Train is (Beyond Thomas) and the same goes for the skills required.

    The sort of Scale my Father, his Father and his Father before him did/do for a hobby is 5inch gauge and this is the club their affiliated with.
    I'll try and get some pictures of the 2 locos that my Father owns and PM them to you so as not to further 'derail' this thread any more than I have.
