The new guy

[KPenn5]

I just thought I'd say hello and post some pictures from the club layout..

I primarily stick to modeling the Santa Fe, as I work for the BNSF and see WAY too much orange during the week.

Hoped you enjoyed..All these photos were taken a lazy Saturday with some friends at the club..

Welcome! And that layout looks great with those Santa Fe units. What models are they? It looks like they have LEDs in them? Sound/DCC?

btw, I can never get enough of the Orange & Black.

 

[KPenn5]

The SD75M is Athearn Genesis, along with the two Superfleet FP45's. The Dash 9 is Athearn RTR.

All DCC with NCE decoders, no sound on 'em, just personal preference.

Nice, layout, nice motors, and nice imagery. You seem to know your way around a camera.

Thanks for the kind words..I always strive for the close angles to add a sense of realism.

Impressive, all the way around. Welcome to the forum!

 

[Motley]

Thanks for the info on the Warbonnets. They are so pretty. My LHS has the Athearn Genesis SD75Ms in stock, I might go get a couple of those!

Nice layout and great scenes. May I ask what type of camera and lens you used?

Welcome.

 

[KPenn5]

No not at all, I just use a Canon Rebel XTi with the stock lense it came with. Everything else is just visual trickery to make it look more realistic.

Here's some more shots a few months older..

The 9647 and the 7789 are the only two BNSF locomotives I roster..everything else is pure ATSF.

 

[Motley]

Stop it already! You got me all worked up on the Warbonnets!

btw, are you guys sure you have enough WS ground foam? It looks like a well stocked hobby shop. LOL

 

[KPenn5]

One can never have enough warbonnets, it's how locomotives were meant to be painted

The pic with all the supplies was taken before we finished a few spots on the layout..it's always changing as we go along.

Impressive photos!

Santa Fe All the Way

Nice shots Kyle! I thought I recognized that screenname...

Actually... I see several names I recognize now that I think about it.

I love the containers in the background, it looks just like the spice rack and cleaning supplies in my kitchen!

Here's some more shots a few months older..

Holy cow! I noticed someone weathered some of those engines and a hopper car on that train! Man, you must have some good friends! LOL!

Most definately brother..

Now if I can finally get the cajones to start on the rest of my fleet. Thank Goodness the Santa Fe kept their engines somewhat clean

 

[Motley]

Thanks to this thread I'm now getting a pair of Athearn Genesis SD75Ms and installing Tsunami's. I'm really liking the Warbonnet scheme.

Kyle, is there alot of room inside those things for a decoder and speaker? I'm trying to figure out how big speakers I can get in them?

Thanks,

Michael

Welcome to the forum. The models and the pics are impressive, and I do whole heartedly agree about the inherant beauty of the warbonnets. However, being from the right coast, we paint em blue here!!
