Custom painted Bicentennial Bangor & Aroostook Before Photos

Here are some photos of the Bangor & Aroostook "Jeremiah O' Brian engines painted in the Bicentennial "Spirit of '76" scheme I found on the secondary market before I sent them to Wayne for the expert painting and weathering.

These were already very nice custom painted engines but I wanted them to be closer to the original prototype. The handrails should be white and the trucks should be silver.

I also wanted a caboose painted to match the engines. Since I am fond of the older Mantua trains I used a steel caboose to go with these engines. Finding the matching decals was the hard part. Once the decals were located Wayne could work his magic.

Here are the finished trains after Wayne's expert painting and weathering. He was able to make these two Atheran engines and the vintage Mantua caboose look like a perfectly matched set.

I could not be more pleased with his work and attention to details.

Wayne has many expertly assembled and (airbrush) weathered items available on eBay I highly recommend him for your custom model work. He would be happy to give you a quote for your own custom work.
