Conrail that is. Lets see the best and the brightest blue out there! All of these are either kitbashed or custom painted by yours truly. SD40-2 C424 C30-7A C36-7 C40-8W
I know you CR guys are lurking, lets see your best! Here is my active roster. This only includes top shelf units. I have abother 10 atlas/kato and lifeline engines on the workbench and about a dozen early lifelike, minitrix and bachmann units not shown here.
Daniel, Excellent models and a great roster I must say I also like the guildford units or are they western maryland? I only have one Conrail unit to show and it is currently being patched to a MKT unit but thought I'd show it anyway.
David, I have a question: Whose lineage was the C424? LV? RDG? NYC? Do I spy Aspen Gold and black on that lower right hand side of the roster? Sure looks like a Tunnel Motor to me.... Very nice roster!!!
The units are guilford, as i model worcester wich CR used to interchange with Guilford, Providence & Worcester and Grafton & Upton (still trying to locate an S2 for that. The C424 was a LL CN unit that met a rather unfortunate end: the pand came off with the masking tape as i weathered it. I repainted and detailed to match the ex RDG C424 painted in that implified scheme. Yep thats a DRGW tunnel. I origonally had ordered an Sp for run through, but that black unit looked like a great break up in a sea of blue. Its fully weathered like my other units. Its one of my favorite units to run. If you scan the picture you will also see some CV and GT units. The CV was another custom job I did. There is also a consolidated and an MBTA F40, and Amt P42. But this is a conrail thread so lets keep the pictures coming!
That's one way to get what you want. Your own self made kit! You have me curious about a RR mentioned- Any further info on the "Grafton & Upton?" Boxcab E50
Great stuff! This is the ONLY Conrail unit I have a pic of, and I don't own any models... My grandfather worked for PRR/PC/Conrail for 27 years before retiring, so I have a soft spot in my heart for CR blue....
Thanks for those G&U links. Sad to see they're having troubles. You have a fantastic roster! Boxcab E50
