I find some real world paint jobs in pastel colors, notably on some relatively recent (post-1956) covered hoppers, quite attractive; and I wouldn't mind seeing some models in such colors with non-prototypical lettering.

The NYOW station in Middletown, NY is not long for the world. ![](https://i.imgur.com/o5sh6Uw.jpeg) It's been bad for years but in the last couple its gotten REAL bad. It's sad, very cool old building.

Brown Eggs in a basket, similar but different. I really can't have too many SP boxcars for the era that I model on the D&RGW, 2 from Rapido, 1 Athearn Genesis, and an Atlas FMC 5503 which almost too new - I may sell it, at the time I ordered it I hadn't realized it was so close to the end of my time line with a 5-79 build date. ![](https://i.imgur.com/fDTGbBS.jpg)

It’s MARCH!!! It’s MADNESS!!! It’s March SD45 Madness, that is!! Here are a few pix after a slow start to Photo Fun Sunday. EMD’s SD45 was a brute of a locomotive boasting 20 cylinders and 3,600hp. It looked the part as well with its signature flared radiators that were required to cool the high-output 645E3 engine. Some 1,260 were built during its production run from 1965 through 1971. The Norfolk & Western purchased 115. Shown below is Athearn’s model of N&W #1745. The model is painted in N&W’s F6 scheme. The following details have been added: • Hood lift rings • Salem air dryer filter • Drop Steps • MU receptacles • MU cables • All-weather windows • Trainline hoses • Windshield wipers • Kadee couplers ![](https://i.imgur.com/g9UZ4KL.jpeg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/1DsxK1m.jpeg) And here is Athearn N&W #1796 in Pevler blue. Good discussion of Pevler blue on ( atlasrescueforum.proboards.com/thread/11233/sd40s). ![](https://i.imgur.com/Y6B2nxZ.jpeg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/LfqMh4D.jpeg)
