Here is my entry a custom painted Demo SD45. This was painted by Dave Morse and was one of my first locomotives I purchased. It doesn't get run very often by I brought it out for this challenge
Here is an old Athern "Blue Box" F7 that I repainted to run on the HO layout at the Rosenberg Railraod Museum.
Nice shot of the F unit Russ, like it. Nicely weathered espee Flash. I also like the GE Demo Colonel, good stuff. Here's some thing a little different. I opened the curtain a bit and turned out the light to snap UP 9440 heading around the wye early morning with the sun glinting on the glass.
If I have to use something that's new & never seen before,I'm limited to this engine. Its one of the last ones I'd done before I got too sick. I just happen to take its picture last week while up at the layout.Its a P-42,not a PL-42-AC. I did it as a fantasy scheme,little did I know........ NJT just acquired 4 P-42's from Slamtrak for the new NY-AC service.
With a westbound auto service train in the clear holding the main, D&RGW 3802 glides carefully downgrade at Plain, CO, while GP30 # 3027 waits in the house track with section crew cars:
All really class photos river_eagle, but I think you chose the best one, chatches my vote so far. Excellent work, well done.:thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up:
With the prototype, low light situation can make for a dramatic shot. It is always fun to try to achieve that with a model. Looks like you were successful.
Nothing says Southern Pacific quite like a consist of various unwashed six axle locomotives. Well done.
It's October 1950, and these brand new C&O F7s are hauling black diamonds through the New River Subdivision in West Virginia. These began as Bachmann B&O F units. Paint by Polly Scale, decals by Microscale. 5 chime horns are from Sunrise Enterprises. Number boards were printed on my inkjet printer.
Here is my entry Mr. Train's entry photo taken by Mrs. Train. And for the record the tank car is empty.
Well, I was not going to get votes on my modeling or photographic skills so I had to go with this little gem Rrrr gave me for Christmas.
