Sorry no pictures yet. I just got three custom painted Kato MRL SD70ACe's. I think I will contact the painter rand order a few more after seeing how sharp these look. On the way are some custom painted F3 and F7 units with DCC already installed.
It was my birthday two weeks ago (on Thanksgiving), and I got some b-day cash, so the Saturday afterward I went to a LHS and got this:
Well it's not new but sure does run like it is, thanks to one of the members on here that went through it prior to selling it to me. The U50 Locomotive is one of my favorite locomotives and I felt lucky to get this one. I received it as a stripped undecorated locomotive and decided to paint it up as a Southern Pacific Loco with Speed Lettering. Kind of reminded me of the new member SP Lives who likes Speed Lettering. I used it because that was the only SP lettering that I had in N Scale but like it on the loco quite well. I still have some work to do on it but am in the process of doing so but figured I'd show it now anyway. Numberboards and windows still yet to come. Matter of fact I'm going over to Con Cor now to see if I can find a New Window for it and pick up my 2010 Christmas cars. Hope you enjoy the pictures of the old Gem; I'm sure enjoying the loco. Tree piece window picked up and installed. Yippie! just numberboard left to do. One happy Model Railroader
CNW - I will post a picture as soon as the F units arrive. I think you will like what you see! I know I do!
My newest locomotives aren't really new, except to me. They have been out a while but the ones I got were not used. Anyway at the Bedford, PA N Scale Weekend last August I picked up four Atlas GP 7's for $40.00 each and and 2 LifeLike SW9's for $25.00 each. All undecorated.
My new Atlas GP38 High Hood. I turned this undecorated model into a Southern Pacific Fantasy scheme, of my desire. I really enjoyed Super Detailing this n scale model with BLMA faetures. MU Hoses, Vapor AC, Sunshades
