Best Sixty Build: Progress so far
Good morning everyone! I have been working the last few days on the new Sixty in O scale. For the first one, I have decided to model one that was traded in and repainted to be more appealing to a new customer, hence the newer post 1931 paint job. My railroad operated during wartime, so it won’t be to terribly beat up yet, but still gonna be grimy. Here is my progress so far, a little more detailing and weathering to do yet before the canopy goes on. Here is where it sits at the moment. Hope to finish it up this week.
Pictures to follow as they won’t load from my phone.

Love the yellow paintjob and the weathering you have done to it. Great work so far.
Thanks, Dave S. Tucson, AZ
I think you got the right idea on the weathering on this tractor. It looks like it has been working in the dirt for a while and the tracks like they have been abused by rock and dirt recently and not sitting around and rusted. The tracks on a tractor when they ha e been working should look like bare steel. I have seen to many of them in my work career.
