I'll start....recently a close friend of mine died and I decided I would make 3 locomotives to remember him by:

bashed GP38-2

my friend Dan was about as plain as one can be and was not afraid to get dirty

unknown bashed locomotive

Dan smoked a lot so the extra large and numerous smokestacks is appropriate, plus they light up with an orange glow when operating.

unknown bashed locomotive

finally Dan was strong and held up a lot of friends, so extra strength is called for

So let's see those cheap diesels that you've spent way to much time on....

A June project:  2 Heljan B807 Brewery with the 32½" smokestack combined to make a massive brewery...

2 Heljan B807 Brewery's

I would like to see the cheapest diesel locomotives that you have spent way too much time working on especially ones detailed but retaining the original pancake motor.....

GP-7 MEC 572 was preserved by MEC / Guilford into the 1980s, after most of the 1st generation locos were retired because it had a steam generator and could pull the President's inspecton car which was a HW passenger car that had a steam heating system. It was repainted in original maroon and gold colors for a while in the early 80s.

Show me another 1st generation diesel

Show me a kit that was decorated differently that the manufacturer planned.

Anderson Iron Works is an old factory, maybe the oldest, on my layout, shown here while still on the work bench.

Show me another 'old' factory, please.
