Modern Muscle on the Tuscarora Railroad

[kstrong]

A momentary distraction from my usual c. 1900 modelbuilding yields brute strength for the TRR. Mostly just a bit of a repaint with some very light cosmetics.

This started as a "Post-wreck" #455 version of the K-27


Some dark green paint on the boiler and a proper dosing of weathering


Lowered the roofline about 1/4"


Proper "warm white" LEDs in the headlight and class lamps


New lettering and transformed coal bunker boards (steel to wood)

Another masterpiece!  How about a vid in action.  p.s. Should you ever get tiered of it, UPS knows where my front door is!
