Finished a couple of cars this week! Branchline 50' Berwick Boxcar painted with Floquil RR51 Blue and Platinum Mist, then lettered with Microscale Decals. Intermountain 60' PS Boxcar kit, painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and Floquil Platinum Mist paints, then lettered with Mask Island Decals. Thanks for looking!
Very nice. Your photos always seem to have a wonderful old school character. Looks every bit like it was shot back when the SD-7 was fairly new.
Thanks, Tom. Along the line this is one of my favorite videos on my layout, especially the last half which makes me feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone lol. It's 4 minutes long. John
Seeing your MPA car, I started wondering if the Ma & Pa was actually still around. Had to look for the dates. Guess they have been abandoned for quite some time now.
Parts of it still are, but under the name York Railway operated by G&W, most of the trackage is a former PRR line in PA and the MA part has been abandoned. Rick Jesionowski
This is a photo of my Atlas GP40 3059, which Atlas released in the SP bloody noes scheme. (I corrected their model, and painted it back to the proper Black & Grande Gold, as God intended.) It is sitting on the drop step of the UP locomotive 2576, which started life from EMD as D&RGW 3059. MK in Boise, Idaho turned it from a GP40 into a GP38-3 for Uncle Pete. The 1:87.1 loco and caboose don't take up much room on the 1:1 unit....You don't get the opportunity to take this kind of photo too often...
Nice scene, Candy. Though I have no idea of the heritage of your switcher. NH either imported it from an English manufacturer, or it's an early model from one of the American manufacturers that didn't stay in business for long after failing to convert their product line from steam to diesel.....?
Hornby's version of the standard Class 08 , several were exported and worked alongside American built locos, where they looked tiny ! 00 scale is oversized next to H0, they should look smaller
Ken, Thanks, that's why it looked so familiar. I didn't need grandchildren as an excuse to watch the Thomas series, my wife didn't expect anything different at my age.
The way that scene is composed reminds me of my days driving the jeep for Top...always mindful that I was sitting on the gas tank...
