the rs-11 fuel tanks are a tad wider so i made this extension piece for them
glues on to the same tank as the rs-36 so no need to a complete redesign
Quite a line up. Sure would have like to be in York to see. Later RJD
test print of the cab roof extensions
basically the overhang portion of the roof is added like wearing a hat
Dummy bogie progress

sure is a looker!!!
when will it hit eBay?
After York more then likely have to work out a few more details on it, like wheels, coupler, and a lighting package to get me closer to offerning a full kit and not just the shell
Keep up the good work.
Testing

Saw these in person at York!
You were there? Didn’t notice ya, lol
So even though I doped parts on the floor, it runs and looks good.
I noticed that some of your buildings look like mine. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)Coming apart and laying over.
Most of the buildings were damage last year during that freak wind storm, basically all of them are getting updated (most trashed) this year
Mark, these things are AWESOME! You should be VERY proud of yourself, your work is exceptional. I have a buddy who started his rail career on the Arcade & Attica about a year after I did, he then went dispatching on the WNY&Pa, then to train service on a road in the finger lakes region. He’s now an officer on the Alaska Railroad. He loves these old Alcos. I’m gonna link him in.
One of the things you might consider adding for those of us in teh more modern era, a model of the Alco’s Conrail cut down into the bodies for the slugs: http://www.davedupler.com/oh/Xkk006.jpg
Two of these teamed with a 6100-series mother now provide Hump service in Conway Yard, and there are two or three complete sets.
Again, nice meeting you at York Mark. These should be a good addition to the LS community.
was warm enough to start painting, too cold to paint this week though
Wow Mark. So, um, what is the first steam locomotive you are going to do? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
