Brain,

Wow, those are some very impressive examples of your work. I'd love to see
in some more detail on how you create the stickers. It's hard to believe
that the three green bricks on the front of your "Kathryn" are not painted
and only covered with stickers! Thats really amazing. I'd definitely like to
see some more.

All,

Larry mentioned a train in the GMLTC pictures that is not a standard Lego
color.  It is my beloved locomotive "Kathryn" which pulls the royal train • on my
layout.  The dark green color and brass bands are achieved through the use
of stickers only - no paint.  Here you can see the Kathryn and some
additional sticker examples:

Kathryn represents an 1975 German class BII locomotive that pulls the
Royal Train on my fictitous provincial (German) railway.  The tender
is full height as it carties peat for fuel.

This is the class 22 electric switcher that I posted previously.  It
is also lettered for the K.W.St.E - Acronym in German for the Royal
Williamsburg State Railway (No relation to Wurtemburg).

Here is a quartet entertaining passengers at the Winterthur station.
Only a fanciful model railroad could include such a typically American
element in a European setting.  Custom figures and signage (note the
second class coach in the background) really add to the layout's
ambiance.

For the American enthusist, here is a Lego version of the William
Crooks and two coaches of the St. Paul and Pacific Railway.  This was
the first locomotive in Minnesota.  The train premiered last summer
at the GMLTC display at the National Model Train Show in St. Paul.
The American flag on the pilot has the correct number of stars for the
year that Minnesota joined the union.  The other flag is the Minnesota
state flag.

James, I responded to your post earlier today but it didn't show-up so here's another try. I've been making Z-scale models under a microscope for years so Lego scale is a cakewalk in comparison. Kathryn, made in 1996, was decorated entirely with (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)
