Here's a sneak peak at, "The Tens." I changed the number of the 550 to the 545 after receiving information that the 545 was assigned to Harlowton, Montana in 1977 and served on the Northern Montana Line. I have photos of the 553 serving on the NML in the late 1970s as well in an issue of TMR. :)...

Thanks, Steve! :)

Patty had class tonight so I got some good modeling time in! (she's working on her masters degree) Tonight was all about paint. So, here is my painting for this evening. Then nice thing about painting your own models, is you can paint it according to the final vision of how the unit will...

What an excellent scene! Great job here!

Hey there Trey. I'm not sure how many roads made use of the HORST air filters. But the only two I do know of were the IC & the Milwaukee. A very cool thing for us modelers! :) Steve, I'm not entirely sure of the difference, other than the external housing and duct work. On these rebuilds, I...

Good eye, Jim! You are correct! I'll have swap that out! I'll have to take a closer look at the placement as well. Looking at this example, it was more to the front of the cab roof as well.

Well, if the Milwaukee was well managed, they would still be here today. :) Managed to get some good progress accomplished this evening. That's the work for the shell and cab until finish painting is complete. Next we'll move on to the pilots.

A little more progress... http://www.agawamsouthern.com/?q=node/80

They did the same thing with the SD10s too. Got the stickers... I added a parts list to the build thread in case anyone was wondering about the parts I'm using. http://www.agawamsouthern.com/?q=node/80

Hey guys. Hope everyone is getting some quality modeling time in this weekend! I've posed an update to my build: http://www.agawamsouthern.com/?q=node/80

Hey thanks for the kind words, guys. I am enjoying these builds. I have two of them in progress. Not much time to work on them so far this week. I did manage to cut the original exhaust stacks off and am in the process of sanding the roof smooth prior to putting on the new DA stacks. Alco: Yep...

Hey Joe! So far so good! It's been a fun read so far. The grass looks great! Care to tell us about your applicator?

My best custom work to date would be one of these two: But, I'm sure will be replaced by one or both of the pair I'm working on now:

For anyone interested, I'm recording my SD10 build on my web site. Here's a link: http://www.agawamsouthern.com/?q=node/80 I can copy that thread here if anyone wants.

Thanks Mac! Here's a shot of her all finished up:

DITTO! Life is WAY TO SHORT to deal with people like that.

This is my first post here, so thought I'd share my latest project. --- I got the most significant part of the this project completed this evening. The frame chop. The Milwaukee Road GP38-2s had a VERY SMALL fuel tank. So, in order to model one accurately, the fuel tank MUST be cut down to the...

Milwaukee Road would be my choice, of course. :D
