What are your new locos?

Just picked up a Kato BN SD70MAC. Very nice, and it now needs a mate...

 

Executive paint??

 

Speaking of Executive, heres a shot of my new additions.

 

Nlveo - Hmm, quite the "Executive Suite", er, sweet, er, well, anyway, nice!

 

NIEVO !!!!! Sir ! you have impeccable taste !!!

Very nice choices, from your friend..... fatalxsunrider43

 

Thank you guys for the kind words. I have a bunch of Coalporters on the way to put the SD70's to work........now if I could only get a layout to run them on.......

 

thats always an issue... even here.

 

3 atlas n gm&o gp38,s, and a model power 282. i got the the wife model power f40 and 3 bilevel comutter cars in amtrak phase 3 scheme.

So much for thining the herd. :tb-hissyfit:

 

NICE!!!!!

Sweeetie!!!!

 

My two most recent acquisitions have been a Bachmann 2-6-2 for the Christmas layout and a Kato GG1 for Christmas.

 

I let my gf pick one out..

She has very good taste.

 

Excellent move!

 

I got a couple of Bachmann GE 44T. Rio Grande and Army 'flavored'. They run pretty good... not real good low speed control in DC though. They do look great... and its amazing how B'mann managed to put a decoder in these.

Now the bad news... I also got a Model Power Streamlined Pacific. I've seen ducks waddle less than this thing does. I have no-one but myself to blame that I don't learn from past experiences. DON"T BUY A STEAMER WITHOUT FIRST TRYING IT OUT AT THE LHS... and that goes double for MP products. BTW... It is a Santa Fe version which looks reasonably close to the Valley Flyer prototype. Okay... reasonably close means it has a four wheel pilot truck... six drivers and a two wheel trailing truck... in other words it fits the definition of a 'Pacific Class'. It also happens to be painted similar to the Valley Flyer prototype... Yep... Silver & Black with red, white & yellow Santa Fe graphics... I have no idea whether it is accurate... but it will look nice sitting around doing nothing.

Why did I buy it you ask?
Well... I am a collector [that's spelled & pronounced... MASSOCHIST]

 

Picked up an Atlas GP 38 Grand Trunk Western.

 

my latest is a micro trains FT demonstrator set. super smooth runners and very quiet. excellent pullers also. i like atlas GP 40's and 35's just as good......

 

thanks Toolman, I also added BLMA Brass Pilot Plate, MU Hoses and Cut Levers.
Changed the Kato Couplers out for MT 1015's. Done now; no weathering for this loco.

 

My Engines


I've purchases these engines off of ebay or in stores over the last 6 weeks. Most of these engines will be "Cotton Belt"ed BTW, Ebay is EVIL!!!! I spent too much money there and now I have to wait to get started on my layout again..lol

 

Thats just torture for me.. I need more SP!!!

Very nice!

 

An interesting dichotomy: a new chassis Japanese D51 2-8-2 and a Jersey Central FM H15-44.
