U.S. Navy Railroad

HO Scale GE 44-Tonner made by Bachmann, shown with a pencil for size comparison. Before modification it is all yellow with safety stripes at the bottom and a dark gray roof. I modified it by repainting the roof yellow and adding the lettering with Woodland Scenic dry transfer decals. 'USN 65-00835' is a fictional engine number; however it was modeled after the prototypical navy style with '90,000LBS' on the cab, similar to the center cabs at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. I also added a builder's plate below the cab and '97' on the trucks to indicate the last time the brakes were replaced was 1997. This is used to switch a navy air station in fictional Bridgeport, Maine.
