How about an ATSF moment?

Hey Jerry, How about posting some pics of your nicely detailed SD40's? And your F45?

 

Ahhh Santa Fe zebra stripes. Nothin' better I don't care what scale it's in. I just love the coolness factor of those. The pre '72 paint is a close second.

 

Very nice work, Jerry! I look forward to you and your diorama reuniting!

 

Ok Santa Fe fans, we can't let our buddy Chico down! Let's see your ATSF pics...

 

I am not into ATSF so much, but I have this old TOFC car that is one of my favorites. I bought it because of the weathering on the car. I still run it all the time.



Also, this is a Fine N Scale model kit that Dick Billings helped me do. He coached me on the correct ATSF reefer orange. I am not sure what era.

 

Here's a few that I like.

 

Hmmm, I guess my RSD5 needs some weathering!

 

Stay cool and run steam....

 

Here's some more shots:

Back in the Zebra Stripe / Black Widow days on Tehachapi Pass:




Warbonnets in New Mexico:




And my most recent favorite, a string of three Atlas/Kato GP30s (1993-era N scale locos, still run like champs):

 

Great shots, guys! Keep em coming, you are making Chico proud!

 

Hey Chad! For an SP guy that ain't half bad!!

 

Stay cool and run steam.....
