Eric! IMHO, Trans-Siberian Orchestra is the only way to enjoy rock music and Christmas at the same time. In fact, I've got them going on WMP right now... Matt

Ehh?

Good job, Kevin! You need to get a BNSF unit for yourself! And a CSX unit. I see those on NS freights every day. Matt

Kevin! Hey, that's fine with me! Do you plan on weathering this? Check out this thread over on MTW. Matt

Kevin! I was wondering where you'd gotten to. Are you using a prototype for this? I looked for a photo of your number or one close to it, and couldn't find one. The lowest-numbered NREX SD50 I found was in the 5060 series. :rolleyes: :) Sorry, I just have a critical eye for prototypical...

I e-mailed Wes Reminder about this a while back. He uses PL-155. To me, it looks like that would be correct. Matt

Ahh, I'm glad someone broke the ice on sports... Florida @ Tennessee...6 days!!! What I'd give to be in Knoxville for that game. Oh well, CBS isn't that bad... Uhh, on topic...that's a nice plan there, Dave. Matt :D

Josh and all: I've some to my Photobucket: http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/csxwatcher/ (Read-only password: CSXT) ...and some to my RRPictureArchives site: http://csxwatcher.rrpicturearchives.net/ Truth is, I have many more. It takes me forever to upload photos, even with cable...

Agreed. I was not in any way downplaying your idea, just adding to it.

*Resurrection of an old post.* Regarding weathered trucks: That works, but there are great variations in color on trucks. I start with a grimy black base, or flat black from a spray can. Next, I hit it with various "pastes" of AIM powder & various liquids, such as hairspray, water, and rubbing...
