Attaching some pics of my Alien Recovery consist as I progress.
I still did not like the looks of my RS3, even after I dullcoated the bright lime green finish. It also was weak, having only one motor to drive it. So I added an extra motor to the rear which I ordered from Lionel parts dept.......awhat a difference. My consist flies around the main line and has no problem with grades. To get rid of the lime green look of the RS3, I repainted it Camo Green and black. I also added Ack Ack guns to the rear and a few decals to give it a military look. I did the same to the Alien radar tracking car.
Now the RS3, Radar Tracking Car and the Army Security car have a more serious military look. Here are the pics of my work in progress so far.
Thanks for looking,
