Here you go pops!

Cesar

A fixed pilot Lionel GP30. It's a non-powered unit, and I will be picking up a powered GP35 to run with it.... so I'll have to start from scratch to get the 35 to look like this: 

Ceaser Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Here's my sons RailKing Santa Fe. We took out the large globe light and put in a Evans designs LED. It really looks great and fit in the lens and is focused like a real light now.

Laidoffsick VERY NICE THANKS FOR SHARING.

Here's my friend Bobs railking Santa Fe.

boilermaker Very nice video. Thanks for sharing with us.

corsair29 Your friend Bob has a very nice Steamer. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice weathering and detailing.  Your personal record is awarded another ten merits.

You're bringing back memories, Cesar.

I made my Engineer seniority date on the 2436.

Although I worked at San Bernardino, the Los Angeles Division had three home terminals, the other two being San Diego and Los Angeles.  As soon as I passed my Locomotive Engineer promotion exams, I was forced assigned as an Engineer at Los Angeles.  I worked the Engineers' Extra Board there for 10 months straight.  My first trip was on a midnight switch engine, with the 2436.  I had never seen any of the 3-man switch crew before, and I had more time on the railroad than all three of them combined.  They were pretty good, though, and we did a decent night's work in the yard.  I had also never operated an EMD switch engine before, as all our goats at San Bernardino were Alcos.

I hear an alarm bell, Pops.  I think the 90L is running hot.

Tom that is a really neat story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Tom I am trting to preheat the oil so it will flow nice and easy

Well what the heck,  I pulled the SF CHROME, off the ceiling run,

but I did not feel like up and down the ladder to get the passenger cars.They pull a bunch of power!!

Love the war bonnet, thanks for sharimg.

Top Shelf work here! It looks like an OMI Brass model. Did you use Atlas A/C and rooftop details & How did you match the yellow or is it a complete repaint?

You even fixed the Conductors side nose handrail, nice.

Fast Fifteen . . . lookin' good, popsrr.

Tom,

That fast 15 does look pretty cool. I used a numer 90 over on your KC meeting post the other day. Did any of the guys in the cab look like you

Thank you SPSF. The AC unit is a plastic version from PSC, along with the MU hoses and glad hands. The cab vents, speed recorder, and fuel tank gauge are from Detail Associates. The antenna stand was scratch built from strip and sheet styrene, then a DA antenna. The pilots were done with sheet styrene, and the coupler pocket built up with strip styrene and filed down to get the angle. 

There was a lot of blue touch up paint, that wasn't done by Lionel on the walkways and nose. Both blue and yellow paint was Floquil, which wasn't an "exact" match, but because I weathered it, it all blended together pretty good. The handrail on the conductor side was just re-bent using the original one. I noticed they got it right on the new GP35's.    

Wow Laidoffsick you sure did a LOT OF CUSTOM WORK to create this beauty. Congrats.
