Friday after work I picked up a sinus/head cold. I slept most of Saturday away, so woke up early this morning and went to the Wheaton, IL train show. If my wife ever finds out that I spend any money on these, I’ll blame my cold for loosing some common sense. Here we have an A-B-A set of Budd RDC postwar Lionel Chassis with heavily chopped up and badly repainted Alco shells. The trucks are packed full of heavy grease, so they need some cleaning. They all run. I found it amusing that after going through all this effort, the “artist” had to paint the horns and some inside too. The roof top radiator fans were cut out and red or green beacon lenses added for a super realistic light effect.
