Flash Backman I love the GT car with the big dent. I actually will do that. Paul (Colonel) Those are nice looking RI. Did you do the custom paint? I have the feeling the blue and white was not easy to do, or at least I have some big problems with light colors. John I like the F7 shot. Nice work on the light weathering. I saw some ATSF pictures from that time and it seems the kept the engines very clean. As a SP modeler, clean is not a word I would use for my company I model. Mike I love those colorful Metro engines. Alister Did you take any picture of your great RSD7 model while building it. Maybe I missed them. Dingoix Great paint job on the GP30s. Seems both, the GP30 and the GW is not something I see a lot modeled. For me was more painting of the layout room this weekend. I am almost done so I can install the floor. Since I don't want any carpet anymore (last one got destroyed during the California rainy winter) I got some glueless hardwood floor panels from Costco. Cost me about 6 engines.
Roland, I used a highhood RSD15 which is very close to the RSD7 model. I've added some doors on the nose and about to add grabs to the left front side of the nose. Finding it hard getting photo's to show the ATSF version as that's what I'm building. Iappreciated John Moores building of a pilot for these!- very timely. I have some photo's but they don't show much more than what you see as yet.
Flash Great looking cars! The dents are really cool! Wolfgang Great shots! Pete Great looking ship! I love that photo also! Paul C Great looking locos! Scott Nice locos! John Sing Cool looking Santa Fe units! alister Nice job on the locos! Dingoix Cool looking units! Brian Great looking power! Mike Great shots! Zephyr Terrific looking locos! Nothing from me this weekend. I just never got down to the layout.
Thanks guys! I anticipate a couple more paint projects hopefully later this month, a B40-8W and another AC4400. Colonel - I really like those Rock Islands! And dingoix, very nice GP30 - I think the CGW is really cool.
I got a good deal on the GP30s, $20 for one, $28 for the other. They're Bachmann Spectrum and run almost as good as Atlas.
