Jerry, great work. Inspiring.... I have to go and try to copy what you've done on my SD9E's now. Thx for the pics.
I didn't know that the Sacramento Locomotive Works did weathering too? It looks like its been out on the road for a while, great work!
Jerry The bell is between the rear of the fuel tank and the truck. Heres some links with pics. http://espee.railfan.net/picindex/sd7-9_detail/rap_sd7005.html http://espee.railfan.net/picindex/sd7-9_detail/rap_sd7003.html
You probably would have had to use that super overhead crane to install it, and show it to people!:teeth:
Those are nice boards! Do you just cut the individual numbers and line them up, or something else? Number boards are a thorn in my side.:angel:
I was lucky and the '44' and the '09' were together, so it was only four total pieces. I tried to leave a very small gap between the '44' and '09' to look like the individual numbers the SP used in the numberboards.
:lightbulb:You know, there ought to be preprinted number boards for specific railroads and locomotive types. Like for the SD9, there would be a set called SP SD9, and have all number variations. Before and after renumbering.:lightbulb:
