LOL Its not a spare bathroom. I couldn't get my mothers garage cleared, then it got cold out, then i tried to make a home made booth but it would've been set up in the dining room. So i removed the screen on the window, swung open the window, turned the fan on and locked the cats out. Worked out great. Going to do it again hopefully tomorrow night. LOL

Ok, I will finally put something in this week. A 40' boxcar that I repainted tuscan red and added decals to. It was originally a green Linde Union Carbide car (this one was bachmann I believe, may have been Life Like):

It is on the diorama that I built today on an old piece of wood with some flex track that I got the other day for free!!!

The car looks kinda bad, it was the first one I ever did. I see a couple spots I missed w/ paint and it clumped in spots but so goes the learning process!

Very good work on the SD40-2. Looks like the one in 'Unstoppable'.

@danpik: AAAHHH!!! I was waiting to see someone do it! Cool loco.

 

[Motley]

It sure does. Great work on that danpik.

The evil twins
My camera kind of washed out the colors on these.

 

[psychobeagle12]

If you bought those somewhere, where did you buy them? I have seriously been waiting since seeing the movie to see these locos come out! If you did them yourself well then that makes you AWESOME!!!

 

[danpik]

I did them myself. I don't have the twins anymore. Someone at a show saw them when I was showing them to someone else and made me an offer I could not refuse. 1206 was just finished about two weeks ago.

Hey Dan, Nice movie units... (I want some someday... might do a Geep or 2...) but What is that Transfer unit in the background of the pic of the "twins"? It looks vaguely familiar, and who made the model of it?

 

[danpik]

The unit in question is my model of a GE 132 ton centercab switcher. It was originaly owned by Ford the sold to the Wellsville Addison & Galeton.

Here is a shot of it before the paint shop.

I hand built this about 2 years ago

Very nice!

Here's a couple more of the Atlantic. This time on a layout. Much better than the photo paper!
