On this anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, I would like to take a moment of silence to honor those who lost their lives on that fateful day in 2001. I would also like to honor some great modelers who have shared their work on Trainboard albums/RailImages! First up is Fishplate, who basically scratchbuilt this boxcab locomotive: Next up is Kitbash, who, well, kitbashed the end of this hopper to better match the prototype: Kingj63 rode this old SD90MAC-H-2 hard, and put it up wet. Love the incinerated paint! Last but not least, G&OM 3207 takes us back to 1968, as engine 1803 shuffles hoppers:
Nice work all around, and Fishplate's boxcab is great. Interestingly, the road number is the same as one of CN's early boxcab diesels.
Yes, it is based on CN 7750 (if you don't look too closely at the trucks and fuel tank....) Thanks for the nice comments, guys!
