I have 3 F40PH. I got mine from FR, but it's no longer available. I get the feeling yours will look better.
I should have said "no one CURRENTLY makes one". I remember seeing it in brass (I think) but couldn't find it listed when I searched. Up until now I wasn't at all interested in one, but having painted so many D&RGW passenger cars lately I wanted to complete my loco roster. And besides, I wanted to see if I could do it! I hope it turns out nice!
Unless you are hiding the bad ones, all the kitbash you done are museum quality. If you didn't know before, now you know I am a big fan or your work. FR F40's are pricy, but they are not made of brass. They shell is injection molded. What makes it special is a big can motor and a gigantic flywheel. It runs great and pulls like a F7.
Frank, I just glanced at your website! Your scratch builds are awesome! That SW1000 is Sweet! Seriously, Lipton Tea Bag for screens? Awesome! Tim
Working on a 3D printed Rail car N&S or Southern road name # NS99001618 carries switch track all ready assemble found very few images no information on special flat car with table for trainsporting. this drawing was done at 72foot I even counted the ties in the photo but still couldn't come up with the right size just a guess and no spec. found. does anyone know any information on this!
for the F40PH youd want to use the F59PHi chassis from AZL, its a solid performer, and the F59PHi is only 2' longer than the F40PH in real life anyway... which would be about 2.5mm which if it really bothered you, you could shave the mech down. also another bonus is you could also use the rear pilot since they were designed like the F40PHs anyway. but i would also love to see a F40PH make a come back...
Thx, coincidentlyI was drinking tea while building the SW1000 shell. ...and it is difficult to etch finer mesh screens.
Forgive me for not staying current with Z these past 3 years but this looks to me like a Chessie paint scheme? I am most likely incorrect. Please tell us MORE!!!!!
on my work bench this weekend Adding LED's to some BLMA # 8000 Target Signal Heads all 3 have a RED/GREEN LED shoehorned inside the 4th didn't make the cut (CA didn't work near as well as soldering did for me) only 16 more to go
Nice Splice! I've done a couple as NKP ones but they only ever had A units so I didn't need to do a 'B' Kev
Here's my disaster workbench. Surprisingly I can find what I'm looking for on it One time some years ago my wife cleaned it up and organized everything. It looked really good but I could find a thing.
Paintshop week Snowyriver EMD FT in 'reveal' primer coat which is going to be finished in Erie colours. Two of Stonysmith's new Torpedo cars and an etched Nickel Silver MEA open coal wagon in EWS colours Two of IvanF's Hymek diesel hydraulics, one Class 73 Electro diesel and one Class 24 Diesel electric all in BR Railblue.
