Love it, Steve!! You always do a fantastic job of weathering!! I have always liked that GM&O livery. The first picture I saw of it was in black and white and the lower black paint was quite dirty so I did not think it was black but imagined it was maroon for sometime. I was a little disappointed when I saw it in color picture.

Thanks Larry.
I had a hard time liking this one because I kept wanting to paint it blue grey as the real photo shows. Also no white stripe on it either. But for 47 bucks, you get the version MTH has presented me with. It would not be cost effective to do otherwise.
The customer sent me a different photo to use.
Maybe there were other schemes on these diesels, not sure if MTH was correct? I still have to question the black color used on the MTH.

So C&O #1601 recently returned from the repair shop. An interesting development however during the repair. “Concord, we have a problem”.

Regards the C&O engine it now has two different numbers 1601 1604???
TED, just make a few more 1601's and 1604's and you can have another locomotive! lol .. I do wonder how the one making the repairs didn't notice the number difference?

Anyone know anything about that New Haven RDC Brian posted?
coach joe posted:Anyone know anything about that New Haven RDC Brian posted?
Basically a custom built RDC train by Budd for the New Haven Roger Williams during their dalliance with high speed lightweight trains. The train consisted of 6 RDC's: the two cab cars and four intermediate RDC's without controls or operator's cabs.
The train was equipped with third rail shoes for operation into Grand Central Terminal. The cars were compatible with standard RDC's and were mixed in with standard RDC's after the trainset was split up. Retired in 1980. Two cabs and one intermediate cars survive.

Good evening, a couple of shots from Conpit Pa. last Sunday.
Although it was not on the front end we did see these interesting loads toward the rear of this east bound freight.

Mark, I wonder if the military vehicles were a new delivery or just a move from one base to another.
FL9TURBO02, I always like the EMD demo units too. Especially the blue and silver of the 50s and 60s.
Good evening Coach Joe, to answer your question I am not sure.
They looked new but they could have been refurbed and like you said they may have been just being relocated.

My new (to me) MTH NKP 759 Berkshire in the American Railroads (Golden Spike 100th Anniversary) paint scheme with matching passenger cars. This engine was originally a 5-volt PS2 which was upgraded to PS3 and the only changes that I have made were to change out the headlight from a bright white LED and the MARS light from a red LED to now both be golden glow white LED's.
Thanks,
Mat

A pic of my PRR Consolidations. Weaver H10 on left and 3rd Rail H6sb on right.
Both have been upgraded with ERR and gunrunnerjohn electronics by forum member Alex_M. Needless to say, the H6 was a challenge for Alex but he got it all in.
