Ok, after taking a little break for the holiday i hit the work bench pretty hard today and finally got this unit finished up...well, as finished as this projects is going to get on my end. Soon this shell will be reunited with the owners chasis and hopefully the rest of the handrails will be put bac...

It is a tough match...so I stopped matching. In the pic is just plain caboose red. It works for me. I once had somebody tell me that most of the prototypes don't look the same anyway, so the models being different shades is suiting. However, when/if you weather it the red takes on more of a dirty or...

Looking good, and we're anxious to see the finished loco. Question - what is the order of painting on the CN? White first, then red, then black? Or some other order? See ya.

Haha, in an effort to not get my tripod out i needed to prop the loco to camera height. the puck makes a good masking tape collector, comes off easily.

Working on another project for somebody. This one is a CN GP40-2W. I was going to take pictures along the way but was overcome by laziness. :) Here are some pics with final mask work and the "reveal." Also inside a CV/GT 1776 loco (in progress). http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5050/5204019871_4c843fa...

I was thinking of doing some Detroit Terminal Decals but hit a wall on making decals, WILL YOU be making and Detroit Terminal decals for the diesel switchers? I am still trying a source for the herald and using some "close enough" stripes for the nose work. , Thanks and welcome back dave jakubiec l...

Hello everyone, before i put these on ebay i wanted to offer them here first. These are all in NEW condition and come with metal wheels , Kaydee-style couplers , and box unless otherwise noted. Please refer to them by the number order they are listed in. First come first served. Yes, there are dupli...

Was down in the Milwalkee jct/dequindre cut today. Nice to see they have both of the little switcher units and SW unit in service...or atleast parked there again. I cant remember for certain, but i dont remember an industry getting tank cars before. if there wasnt, there definitely is one now. one i...

Its not even on the parts list, checked last night....wonder if their getting a little cheap on detail parts. Oh well, here I come 3rd party!

were your kits GP/SD or SW's? I have a couple different kits and neither have the light/numberboard housing. kinda bummed about that.

Hello, i'm currently building a canon and company SW1000 cab. Every time i build with canon i am pleased with how many detail parts are included but i'm noticing that there are no rear headlights or mount included. Does anyone know which brand carries the housing for the rear headlights/numberboards...

Some pictures from yesterday morning: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1406/5181192165_a9255664e3_m.jpg Circus train coming out of Orion south of Baldwin/Joslyn on the PO&N led by lone CSX engine. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1304/5181202485_868aabe1a2_m.jpg CSX loco passing me by. http://farm5.stat...

Looking at the computer I see CSXT 7 has been added to the train. Crew was on duity at 11:15 and has yet to knock down any signals. If they are on the secondary it will no show anything until they give the blocks back up. So they could be moving, but dont expect them into Toledo for at least anothe...

Stalked the circus train out of orion, led by 8591 solo. 60'ish cars. sitting in pontiac now. CN southbound dropping off cars in the yard with 2 SD60f's. when they dropped off last week there were a slew of flat cars, since one CSX engine was missing, do the crew and cargo travel as 2 separate trai...

Currently the MAL does have a jct with CSX. the map you saw which shows it connecting to the holly shows where the tracks have been removed. The MAL used to extend a long way, the short track now was only saved for the dinner train and the couple industries on the line. that track went all the way t...

Well, i think i may just be on the right track. fate has it that i have a proto sw9/1200 and 2 athearn SW1000's sitting around in my "to be painted" box. I also have a SW7 phase 2 from Broadway Limited, i'm still learning the little details, but it seems similar to me to the SW9/1200. If i'm wrong, ...

yep, thats the picture i found also. its a great picture, the problem i'm having is having no experience with switcher units. i hear that DEEX had several types and i'm trying to figure out which road number will be the easiest to model properly without doing bodywork, i just cant find any images. i...

Does anyone know where to find pictures of the old DEEX switcher units? rrpicturearchive, railpictures and rr-fallenflags dont offer much more than #216. anyone know of any place to find more pictures?
