I think the black loco with red, blue and white accents looks great. Much more "classy" than the silver. But thats just me.

Being a fan of the Santa Fe, Burlington, and Rock Island - stainless steel silver got rather boring after a while. Hard to beat shiny tuxedo black for a class act. Too bad PC couldn't keep theirs shiny.

Packages in parcel drop off today. I was not expecting them till Saturday.
4 TBOX railboxes that have build dates of 2009 through 2014. At the most they will be medium weathered. These were purchased to be weathered and sold down the road.
4 Tank cars in the other box and purchased elsewhere then the Railbox cars
Purchased to be heavily faded with kick up spray but not real dirty. These were purchased for me to be added to a through train. The build dates are 1998.

I use Vellejo I should try other brand like Tamiya, but for my present needs it does the job.

So these came yesterday and today. I mentioned about the SD-40 in the coffee shop....
Athearn RTR ATH98823 EMD SD40 Union Pacific UP 3030 DCC & Sound
Then I got another set of generators,,,,I think now I am up to about 24 of these generators. I need another 24 then that should do it I think....but maybe not. As I mentioned I am building a CAT dealership/distributor so I have a lot of CAT equipment but I wanted to get a lot of generators too. I plan on having someone make me CAT power generator boxes that I can set these in and then I will detail them up! I may even do some small trailers too.
and lastly I picked up another ASAB boxcar for the southern exchange line for my layout.

Also my Walthers 933-3517 Office & Guard Shack came in too! This will be used either for JR Fuels entrance or the entrance to the diesel facilities and shop. Or I may just get another one?

Alco, I'm really going to have to move to the US, your loco cost $53 less than what it takes for me to fill a full tank of gas here.

Sure is purdy! I tell ya I never understood why Union Pacific did not buy any of the SD80MACs as they are sharp looking locomotives!

Here we go again with another one. I'll start a separate thread with the progress.

The model is sweet too. Can’t wait to get her all together this week and see what she can do.

I have loved the running of every Kato locomotive I have owned over the years. While the details may not equal today’s models the running gear sure did.
Nice find
