Looking to update my brass locos
Posted by 70humdinger on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 5:50 AM

After an 18 year hiatus, I am back in model railroading (HO scale). Before the hiatus, I kind of went on a brass buying spree, so I got about a dozen brass diesel locos sitting about. I'm looking for a reputable commercial outfit that can 'do it all' (painting, decaling, motor repair (as needed), DCC installation, sound and lights). I already have a few nicely painted/detailed units that need DCC installation (sound and lights would be nice too). Can anyone help me finding these good people? FYI, my decrepit and fumble prone hands makes doing it myself a major hassle. Thanks in advance for your kind help.

I would highly recommend Derrell Poole (7th Street Shops) of Hamilton, MT. He also works at Northwest Short Line. Derrell does top notch detail oriented work.

I second what he said above.  Very good reworker of brass.  And being connected with NWSL he has instant access to any gears or motors the models might need.  Post up some pics of your brass when you get the chance.   Here is my RS32, haven't decided what to paint her up for yet, so she looks pretty in the display case when not being run.    Mike the Aspie
