Let's See some of your locomotives

[Alex V.]

Bump.  Guys, if this thread is losing its steam, just tell me.  But I think it might be a good thread, so I'll probably keep bumping it if it doesn't stay up by itself.

Ford,

 

Amazing man.  Just amazing.  Outstanding job on those units.

[Steve_F]

It's not until you try this you realize the difficulties in taking a clear photo, not to mention how the photos show up defects that I was previously unaware of.

I have a new respect for those with the really good photos and a new understanding of why some photos seem not so good.

This is my HO Atlas RS11 I have painted to represent CNW 4251; it was originally Seaboard Coast Line.

Ford86,

Those are good looking locos but you've got post smaller pictures. They took about five minutes to load on broadband and you have to scroll around to see the details once they are loaded. I suspect most people on dial-up just gave up waiting for them to load. You have one picture that is over 2.1 Mb and the resolution about 3500x1000 pixels, way more than almost any monitor can use. Your goal should be about 800x600 resolution and a picture size of about 70k. There are several easy ways to resize pictures. If you don't have a tool to do so, let me know I'll give you some more information.

First set is a SD70ACE all scratch built with styrene except for the kato frame and part of the walkway, Second is a sd90mac Phase 2 the front of the nose and some other parts are scratchbuilt, and last a BN tebcu6

 My entire US roster - an Atlas SD26, HO scale.

[myred02]

Well, here's a itty-bitty sneak peek of my motive power roster. (to be honest, I really don't have that many locomotives)

It's a Atlas Dash 8-40CW in CSX YN2 paint. It's got DCC, but no sound. I'll get to that at a later date.

Phillip, now that's what I call a postage stamp train!

Optivisor is your friend!

Bump .

[Alex V.]

GREAT looking locos!  ARTHILL - I love your "Last Kiss" diorama!  But, I envy you for your Bachmann Climax.

This H0 Life Like weathered my friend Peter. He "poured out his bucket with dirt over this engine". His words!

[jeffrey-wimberly]

Athearn BB F7A, KCS gray scheme. DCC equipped.

[batterymule7]

Boy that engine sure looks good in that tuxedo.  An SD70 M-2 would look just as good I think.  Very nice!

[tstage]

Instead of posting them to the forum, this will make it easier:

The two that are B&W photos are one's that I'm still waiting for.  Clicking the pictures will cause them to enlarge.

Here is an image that I like. Lionel Challenger 3984.  Wonderful puller, tracks very well.

[SOU Fan]

Here is one of my locos.  I'll have a SD80MAC in the same paint scheme early next week sometime.  HO scale of course.

[gcri]

I am still in the process of building my layout, but here are the two locomotives I have so far (both are N scale): 

This is an Atlas EMD SD-60M

This is a Kato EMD E8 with a Con-Cor Dummy B Unit

 

 

 

 

[steamage]

My favorite diesel is this 30 year old brass AS-616 that I detailed, painted and rebuilt with a can motor.

[secondhandmodeler]

 HO Athearn Blue box Gp35.  I don't use this one much. It doesn't fit my era.

HO Bachmann Spetrum 2-8-0.  This one is my favorite

Mantua 4-6-2.  In need of repairs.  This one has sentimental value.  It was my favorite when I was young.

[canazar]

  I've got 3, but I don't know what they are.

 

Alex,

  I am not sure.  Mine aslo came as a 3 pack.   If I remember correctly, they are Like Like.  Handy little tractors.

This is a good thread.  Some fantastic locomotives.

[ARTHILL]

[G Paine]

This is my current favorate, HO scale Sectrum Consolidation, MEC 524

It has been modified per an MR article a couple of years ago with a new boiler tube pilot, bell and whistle relocated to the correct locations, modified cab roof, tender handrails, and MEC speed lettering decals. I still need to purchase the Sountrax decoder for it.

I have some others, but have not photographed them.

[Driline]

 

My favorite Loco's. A couple of HO Proto 2000 SW9/1200's that I painted and decaled. The strobe lights are both operational. These loco's have the NCE SW9 DCC circuit board installed and run beautifully. I also bought a Proto 2000 SW8 with sound that I plan to paint in the same livery.

 

A recent Paragon BLI purchase. The QSI sound is awesome. However it only runs OK. Not near as smooth as an Atlas or Kato. Too bad. I also added the Soo Line decals to it. Oh yea, the caboose is an old athearn that I painted and decaled as well.

[jeffrey-wimberly]

I model N scale.

I have many more loco's, but those are the best pics.

[Bapou]

This is the half of my fleet that WORKS!

There are from left to right: Atlas U34CH NJ DOT 3371, Atlas ALP-44 NJT 4402, Atlas RS-1 Erie Lackawanna 1088, Spectrum F40PH NJT no # (yet), Rivarossi E8A NJT (can't remember #).

Would I model anything but HO? Well yes but not much!

[mfifer]

Here are my personal fovorites. Older N Scale Kato F7 ATSF freight shells on new DCC kato chassis. I have the detail sets but lack the time!

 

 Here is an Atlas SD24 taken on a diorama ouside that I really like.
