Something different for me

[Rico]

Well if it had to be green at least it’s BNSF and not BN!
Really loving that ripped tank, care to share the how to's?
Good lookin' fleet tho!

Rick I showed that long ago. But will revisit it for you.

Cut the existing fuel tank off first.

Then using aluminum duct work tape, form a new tank. It doesn't have to be perfect.

Then wreck and smash it to your needs. I fill inside the tank with super glue using a toothpick. It will harden up and be permanent.

And finally tonight, the Illinois Central "Death Star" fleet. 4 powered, 2 dummies.

Ah ok, I do recall seeing this before, thanx for showing it again!
Oh... and by the way we don’t refer to them as “dummies” anymore, they prefer motivationally challenged.

Just curious Jerome You have all these really nice engines I'm jealous by the way
Are you running just DC or going DCC And if DC what are you using

 

[wheeler1963]

Mike, not running any except on the test track for now (9 foot straight away on a shelf). Building a 3rd garage currently, that will be the train room by late this year. 400+ engines, 30 or so are DCC, DCC/sound units. I'm planning a hybrid system with both DC and DCC.

Well I finally got around to finishing up the 2 A&P SD4-2 snoots. I can't find the front number boards I had finished for them. Guess I'll just have to redo them.

Can you show us how you do them?

Can you show us how you do them?

I have spares laying around. I just paint them with a gloss paint, decal them, then spray gloss over them to seal them. Done deal.
