Reply twhite Member sinceJuly 2004 From: Carmichael, CA 8,055 posts Posted by twhite on Saturday, November 12, 2005 11:39 PM Okay, went to the Roseville model railroad show today. Looking for some HO mining cars--yah, sure!! Couldn't even find any N-scale European 4-wheel gondolas I might adapt. BUT---walked past this table. Staring me in the face is this incredible, gorgeous, brass Southern Pacific MT-3 4-8-2. Took a close look at it. Took a CLOSER look at the price. It's an old KTM imported by Max Gray, probably in the late '50's or early '60's. Nice detail. Hefty. Really sweet. Took another gander at the price. Was the guy SURE he wanted to let it go for that amount? I mean, I've spent less for pizzas for a family reunion, for Criminy sakes--! It's mine, mine, MINE! The loco weighs FIVE POUNDS!! And it's HO!! And it runs really SMOOTH!! And I know I don't have enough PFE reefers in my collection for it to pull-- it's so SWEET!! Here she is. Painting to come later, after i've finished drooling.

The new Climax finaly arrived at the logging site. I took it to my club's loco contest and won best of show. Small contest but my first ever blue ribbon. The loggers like it also. Also got the truss bridge installed. Now I need to decide what it is crossing. However the Sierra like crossing the bridge. I also started on Sublime Mountain. So far its just some blue foam. Maybe next week or next year.

Just a note to Eddie Landreth: great looking buildings, your rework of the packing plant is especially nice. The blast furnace is good too, but you need way more lights. These things run 24 hours a day and are lit up like a Christmas tree, mostly for reasons of safety.

Many of you probably already saw these GE War bonnet pictures I posted. Well, here are pics of some of the trailing units in that consist: (1) a road slug (ex-GP35) mated to (2) a very worn-out-looking GP40-2. uspscsx, since you've already mastered frieght car weathering, wanna make #6448 your next project?[;)] The lighting here was horrible (nothing I ccould do about it though), so my flash went of and caused the reflector tape to glow way too bright...
