    Chessie SW1

    If you are not in a huge hurry, I may take you up on this offer.

    Qualifications are;
    About 25 (3 and 5 Pole) Marklin 0-6-0 chassis's machined
    About 9 of the SW1 kits completed
    3+ complete with paint (B&M, NS, and Chevron)

    Time will be the issue as I work out of town alot. First major project slated for completion when I return home is about 30+ SD70ACe shells.

    Just let me know!

    Contact Lajos Thek for other possible recommendations!

    I have a few assembled, ready to paint shells with modified r.t.r. chassis, but no time to complete them. If you're interested, contact me off forum.

    If HoboTim can't do it, nobody can. I constantly stand in awe of what he can do.

    A little retrospective. I used to do it like this beside a demanding, more than a full time job. Trust me, I had no time to do what I like the most, modeling, experimenting with new concepts, research and development, module building and doing some good at train shows.

    I did all the homework possible to find all the messages and e-mails. I've responded to all I found, also confirmed all payments received. This small batch is gone based on rules of first come, first served. It seems to me direct e-mails worked the best. One more note, I made sure message board posts were not disadvantaged any way. Thanks for your surprisingly high level of interest about my unfinished R.T.R switchers, and remember, kits are still available.

    Alex' SW1 in Chessie colours

    So, this is the SW1 I made for Alex. Note the additional relings, cut leaver, MU-Hose, closed front end w/o steps as the prototype. Of course custom paint job, decals and weathering.

    C'mon Alex, I haven't said im not doing a new one for you, I just pushed you in the right direction :) New is boring, weathered is the way to go!
