Well, I haven't posted in a weekly thread in a while, but most of you know i've been saying I was going to do this for
YEARS!wall1
And now I have! Presenting now for the first time, a portion of my layout....
UNDER THE WIRE!
Ralph, When is Penn Central going to fix these leaning Catenary poles?sign1 Yeah, i still haven't repainted this unit yet. I plan to soon, but don't worry, PC 4977 (the last EP5/E40) seems to be in my future.... It will be my resident PC unit. It made it's last stand in the region of NJ i model, so it should be good to see when i get it.
Also, I have the three new New Jersey Transit and one Conrail models!
first, my Single Arrow III EMU. I have a Married pair kit i need to build still (basically two cars share a pantograph and electrical equipment). Hopefully i'll find a PDT that matched these cars, and i'll add interior lighting/passenger. I might use fiber optics for headlights and markers a DCC decoder will probably fit well in the "A" end of the car (the end with the Pantographs and electrical equipment), so nothing should be visiable. Its awesome.
I also have an ALP46 I'm slowly putting together. I just painted it and added pantographs now. some of the lines are rough, but they will get covered by decal stripes. I'm just worried about the finish, but i can fix that...
as well as a PL42AC! AS with the ALP46, most places where the paint is rough is covered by decal stripes. Shouldn't be any issues! The shell also came with brass radiator fans, as well as brass grills and vents i need to install.
I'm working on getting Decal sheets for the ALP46 and PL42AC. the PL42AC has a frame and drive coming in about three weeks, but i'm still working on getting the frame for
Finally my new SD60I
