Reply to "Switcher Saturday 2-4-23"

Pierre, if it's that cold in the basement I do not want to know what the outdoor thermometer is reading.  Stay comfy my friend.

Skip those are some nice switchers and a mighty handsome string of MDT reefers.

Sitka I started out with that Alaska GP from a set break-up and it now looks like this:

IMG_1900IMG_1901IMG_1902This was my second attempt at using an air brush.  After practicing on a model of a Grumman F-6 which came out fairly well I masked off this guy and went to town.  I used Lackawana Yellow.  I added a winterization hatch, a snow plow and used a silver Sharpie on the trucks.  Hey wait a second, no snow plow and black trucks, what gives?  Well years later I found a "Titanic" set GP9 from a set break-up.  Unknowingly when I bought it, it would become a chassis donor to my ARR GP7.  Note the yellow handrails, frame and diamond tread pattern on mine.  It is now also equipped with the rudimentary Railsounds package that the "Titanic" GP9 came with.  Here's the donor sporting the silver Sharpie trucks and snow plow.

A little while back I realized my 1802 never got a nose herald so it's been on my list of projects for a nose job and truck tints.  But after taking it off the shelf for these pictures I realize that some how the fuel tank has become separated from the frame.  No obvious cause or fix with a quick glance.  I may have to post on the workbench thread or start a new thread asking for help with this.
