Figures, after I do one for a friend of mine I find out Microscale makes the set for that. All I did was paint a yellow square on the can then went to my dad's massive UP decal collection and used those.

Jerome,

All of those looks cool!

What happened to this one?

 

[wheeler1963]

Mike, the C44-9 had a bad habit of catching on fire due to turbo unit fires. Here's a few others and real ones.

this one was primered after the fire.

Wow, Jerome. That's really interesting! I don't think I'd be comfortable being the engineer in a locomotive that has a habit of catching on fire

 

[wheeler1963]

Mike, GE had some troubles for awhile with their turbos. Wasn't just the C44-9's. But I haven't seen any newer pictures lately, so they must have it fixed now.

Should've passed that fix onto CSX. Cought it in april

 

[wheeler1963]

Steve, nice catch!!!! I'm sorry, but that would make me very nervous having that much fire belching out of something I was riding in!!! LOL

 

[NYSW F45]

LOL. At first I didnt think it was bad, from a distance the flame looked small. But when got closer I was like HOLY SH##!!!! If you took the flame out and put it side by side with the loco it has to be atleast 10 feet high. Engineer knew too, gave me a nice thumbs up. Apparently it kep doing this all the way down to Philadelphia,PA.
