My "Leaser" project

ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.


I've picked up a few custom leaser locos off of eBay, but there are others that are really simple to do. We see a lot of leasers down in Central Ohio when we railfan; seems like CSX always runs a leaser on their normal manifest trains. So, it's easy to find pics of the various types out there.

LTEX tends to be the easiest, since they rarely repaint their locos. But, they have a handful of tunnel motors which are in black with a relatively small LTEX on the long hood. So, just spray the whole shell black, and letter.

The lineouts are also easy, especially the ex-UP NREX ones (hey, THEY were the ones getting rid of them!). The CEFX SD-45 carbodies are fairly easy, except for the nose striping in red. I bought one of those off of eBay, seller wanted to know what road number and what color; happened to have a photo of the loco I wanted him to do....

:D
