Hi Jeff, did you do the paint on this? I am looking for someone to do a professional paint job on a K-4s I am superdetailing. Would you be willing to do that for a price? If not, do you know someone who offers that kind of service? I would of course pay shipping and whatever price for such beautiful work.

The wipers on the locomotive are made with Phosphor bronze wire from TICHY. .015 or .010. The wipers on the tender are made from SBS4DCC wipers. store.sbs4dcc.com/WheelandAxleWipers-5.aspx That were modified and mounted on single sided PC board.

The paint I used on this locomotive was Floquil. This one was painted about 9 years ago? I still have a small stash of Floquil. I have been trying others.

You can repair any part of a brass locomotive. Drivers can be the hardest part to find. But the good quality brass engines have great durability
