+3 great looking A4. Where did you get the data to match the greys on the loco please? Your friend is very good with his painting!!!

[robert3985]

I agree really nice A4.... I need to paint one of mine with the grey boiler.

Here is my FEF-2 that I finished tonight.

Had to post it on the steam thread also!!

Very nice subtle weathering ya got goin' on there Jason.  Next time you paint up a UP engine, try using SP lettering gray for the smokebox.  The metallic look went away after about 12 hours of steaming on the prototypes.  I think you'll notice a distinctly more prototypical look if you do that.

Excellent stuff!

I'll do that.....thanks for the tip Bob.

I love all steamers, but did you have to slap an Erie sticker on it.

How 'bout Pennsy?





I had intended that the PRR would have picked up a few "UH1"s, either in WWII along the same lines as the NW Y3, or after testing units bound for delivery to the SP.  Since lettering that locomotive, I've added an SP interchange to the layout, and I'm not sure if I like the idea anymore.  It's such an iconic locomotive, and now I've got a valid reason to have one in proper SP paint.  Of course, then I either have to find a replacement lettered shell, or pony up for a whole new one.  If I do keep this one, I'm redoing the tender lettering.

Cody, bash in another set of drivers under the tender for a cab forward triplex.

Better you than me 

[CodyO]

Chris I had to do it! I wanted one but couldn't bring myself to put PRR on it so Decided on erie for doing coal drags from the Wyoming valley to the NH interchange

I've always wanted to do a proper erie triplex though would be freakin sweet

[pennsyfan1361]

That Pennsy cab forward looks pretty All wrong but pretty .     Rich

[superturbine]

I must agree the Pennsy Cab forward looks good.  I see that you even numbered the cab number boards...  that boy loves his Pennsy!

[Cajonpassfan]

Oh Jason,
 please don't encourage them; don't you have some UP steam engines to build or something?

I'm now glad I didn't suggest to Eric that he paint that cab roof red and add a doghouse to the tender.
