The E7 has been repainted and decaled

[jeffrey-wimberly]

I've been doing a bit of paint work today. Sorry about the blurry pics. My camera sucks!

Before trim work and decaling.

And after.

Here's another one I just decaled. A GP40P-2.

I just converted an Athearn F7A BB to DCC. It's always been a good runner but couldn't crawl well. Now it can crawl, and it's top speed is so fast that the cars derail. I'm getting more of these NCE decoders. Walther's part #524-139, NCE Silent Running 2 function decoder.

Nice work Jeff! I never knew KCS had any locos in that scheme, it sorta reminds me of NYC E units I saw during my childhood in Detroit.

Sorry about the blurry pics. My camera sucks!

I also used to think that my camera sucked until I discovered
the "macro" setting and then read the Clinic on Model Railroad Photography posted by Bob Boudreau.

Oh yeah, I like the work on that E7!

Bad thing is, it's on the macro setting. That's a $50 camera for ya. You get what you pay for.

Jeff nice work on the Locos. Are those two buildings the Shellac and Light Bulbs Scratch built ? Just kidding really nice Locos though !!!!

The shellac will be used to seal the drywall compound on the layout so that it won't chip easily.
