Grab shot - N scale Santa Fe Alco RSD-15 #800, just back from Randgust's wire handrail service:



This is finally nearing the finishing stage, of a build that's been going on since December 2012:

That's a repainted, refinished Model Power RSD-15 shell, on a Atlas B40-8 mechanism that's been refitted
Atlas C-628 trucks. The above Pbase album has more details.

I may not be fast, but it's good to see a project getting near completion.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Hi Josh:
Good find! Wher did you get that?

You need a crew cabin on those mail & express trains. I made some improvements to mine - moving the smoke jack, grab irons, Z scale couplers and some weathering.

I got a little work done on the new ESM well car with a load.  A CNJ high and wide extra heads through the Lehigh Gorge.

Still not much time for modeling for me, but with Bryan showing the FXD prints from Shapeways, I'm going back over some old drawings and resubmitting them.  I'm also looking at moving from Inventor to Solidworks  for drawing.  I really like Inventor, but going forward, Solidworks may be a better way to go since that's what a lot of people seem to use.

I do not understand no manufacturer coming out with this model in both low and high hood.  I have 3 of these acquired years ago and they look it too, growl loudly, but pull a ton.
