[Colonel]

Isnt that HLCX in the background similar to the SP unit flash recently painted?

[Gats]

Yep, though it's an SD40. There were at least a dozen SD40/40-2's sitting around.

I think it was CSX's Chattanooga Yard diesel facility.

[JASON]

Not diesels,but nearly finished BN fuel tenders.

One green & black diesel, coming up!! :D :D :D :D

http://www.railimages.com/albums/bobthompson/abm.sized.jpg

A B30-7 I shot at the Cherokee Yard engine facility at Tulsa, OK in the late 1980s. It was one of 100 that BN got from GE, and all are now off the roster.

[BoxcabE50]

Hemi-

Behind the photographer, there was a small hillside. From which I have a view taken about two years later, of this same spot. It shows either the 4010 0r 4011, and a C425(?) Where do I have that stashed? Sure wish i had that darned scanner!

:D

Really nice fuel tenders. What did you use for the details? Gold Medal Models makes a kit for detailing those cars.

[JASON]

Ah srry 'bout that,they are MT 56' undec tankers,think I'll just dirty them up abit Flash.

[Colonel]

Jason,

Excellent work bring them out on Friday night and we can take some pics on the layout.

[HemiAdda2d]

NIce work, Jason!
BTW, the only 6-axle BN power to get Tigerstripes was the 3 SD60's, 8300-8302; and an SD40-2, 8002.

[HemiAdda2d]

Here's my BN 8002. Jason, don't feel to bad, mines' painted onto a wrong-phase SD40-2....

Brake wheel nose, wrong rad. grilles, needs anticlimber(as does many in my fleet), 'Q' fans, etc.
A chopped snoot would be righteously close, however.


An interesting patch job:

[Martyn Read]

If it wasn't the tiger striped one, then a renumber would cure it, they had an early batch with pretty much the same details as the shell.

Been working on a batch of these in HO scale, a mix of Athearn and Kato based units. I have a spare (L&N) Athearn that might end up as the bicentennial one as well... smile.gif

They look great! How about some decals?

[HemiAdda2d]

Lots of red 'X's here...

Time to dig up an oldie!

BN, unpatched, in May 2007!!!

http://www.trainboard.com/railimages/data/1041/BN_2106.jpg

[campp]

Here's a GP28M whiteface that was still unpatched when taken in summer 2005:

[r_i_straw]

Still unpatched as of last summer.
http://www.trainboard.com/railimages/data/601/dl23.jpg

[HemiAdda2d]

Score! More unpatched units exist than I originally thought...
Any other findings?

[Kevin M]

Is anyone else seeing alot of X's where the pictures should be, I am only seeing mabey 25% of the pictures.

Kevin

[r_i_straw]

Yeah, on older threads, many of the images vanished when we closed down the old Railimage site. I try to go back and edit any posts I made with new links to the same photo stored on the new site. It takes a lot of time and sometimes I have to guess at what image it was. I am still finding broken links of mine all the time that I need to update.

[HemiAdda2d]

I'm one of the biggest offenders on this red-X issue....

[Ed Pinkley#2]

great new pics guys. Maybe we are getting the red x's due to railimages being switched over. I will see what i can find out there in the world of un patched BN units. I do know that the Lindenwood yard in St. Louis has 2 SD7 or 9's in BN but patched. Still neat to see those old timers out and about.

[Kevin M]

I guess I did not notice how old some of the post are, the pictures I can see are great, keep them coming.
Kevin

[mtaylor]

SWEET!! unpatched BN locos ....life is good :)

[HemiAdda2d]

The shop crews were kind enough to put this unit in some sunlight last week:
