Sunday Photo Fun 1/16/05 (a little early)

[pike-62]

Here are a couple of pics of a GE 132 ton engine I am working on. When it is done it will be painted as the Wellsville Addison & Galeton #1700.



This week I have added the fans, Fan grills and the headlight lenses.

The headlights will be lit by fiber optic strands running back to a LED. This way I can hide the light and not have it light up the whole engine. I also got some work done on the footboards for the pilots. I had to make them out of brass. They still need to be cleaned up and tweaked a bit.

Mike,
I was looking though your galleries on the website, and I must say I am very impressed! Can I ask what material you use next to your tracks? Is it real dirt? It looks very good. Thanks!

I went through a transition. In the shots before the TTX flatcar... it was Bachmann EZ track with real dirt poured in front of it.

Then I got smart and actually made a photo diorama board, which has code 80 track and ballast, etc.
