An old "builder's photo" from an N scale kit bash locomotive I built a while back. Trix mechanism with a Rivarossi boiler shell and a Model Power tender.
Russel, I always liked the look of the SP Pacifics and Ten-Wheelers with Vanderbilt Tenders! I just got back from visiting my first grandchild in California, so I have got nothing done the last couple of weeks. So I will grab an old picture from my club photos for this week. Pennsy N1s with coal drag made up of Bowser H21, H22 and Gla Hopper Cars. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
Well, I really had to stack on the wood to hide the decoder that rides on top of the motor in the tender. Must have got a good deal on firewood. N Scale Baldwin 4-2-0 on the Buffalo Bayou-Brazos & Colorado Railroad heading west on the Sunset Route in the 1850s.
Its all in the details...here we have four GP40-2s and one GP35 waiting their chance to get some details put on...the GP35 will get a Mars light for the nose, they all got A-Line sunshades, Mu hoses are coming for all of them....It's all in the details....
Thanks Box. Always nice to see a compliment. Sadly, I'm retiring from model railroading. Health and old age has caught up to me at last. Jim
Alan, I've had a hard life and the twelve years I've been in this hobby has been filled with friends, layouts, and photos for sure. I'm embarking on acrylic and water color painting in the years I have left. Thanks, Jim
Hope to see some of those. If you do as well at that as you have at trains, you should be doing some fine work. Maybe even a couple of trains for subjects?
