Can we post pictures of our RI models here? I have one that is a reletter for SSW and CNW. I presume that is toward the end of the line for Rock Island. Fox valley Models Intermountain. Homemade decals. Another Intermountain. Needs weathering.
Flash that white scheme was called Rock Blue bled White by some of the guys I know. It was one of the last paint jobs applied to cars.Hid dirt REAL well lol. Good looking cars.
Here are my Rock Island engines that I have. There is my Kato E8, U30C and SD40-2's(one in progress) and my Bachmann 4-8-2 Light Mountain. View attachment 41180 View attachment 41181 View attachment 41179
Ghengis, did you use the Image icon to create your attachments? I have never seen an attachment come up labeled "attachment". How large were the files? I am not sure but I think there is a size limit on images. I keep mine at around 120-150K. :tb-confused:
My friend Raul Ameca made these engines. They were shown in N Scale Railroading magazine a long time ago.
These are all painted custom except the U30C. I finished up the E8 better than the picture with them all shows.
This is a custom model I did in HO. For a time following the demise of the Rock the EJ&E ran trains over the old ROW.
Hey Joliet Dave welcome aboard and there are still some former Rock cars in EJ&E markings in the USS complex in Gary.Love your work and thanks Ghengis for showing yours!
