It's a D&RGW kind of day! This is an indoor shot of one of my Genisis GP-9's lit with a halogen PAR Lamp, it's weathered with some chalks and a little bit of airbrush. My Hi Tech Ugly Duck, painted with SMP Accu-Paint and a hodge podge of decals, again chalks and airbrush. The Morning Sun Pullman Standard book has many shots of new auto parts cars that show a very noticable "wave" in the welded panels, I'm having a little fun with the airbrush and some clear gloss cote Very clever way to replicate panels.

I have several kits laying around to build, Concor, Walthers, and a couple of the Athearn RTR in undec/kit form. Was looking for inspiration, and found a Rock Island airlside I thought would be cool, as I found several photos on the web (Fallen Flags was the best source) and I started hacking. I removed all the ladder rungs, and plugged the holes in the roof, and got rid of the brake equipment, and started filling and drilling, and this is what I came up with: SNIP Very tasty!

Goodness but I am in love! Great pictures one and all. Been a fan of Toms work since I saw it on youtube. Also I heard somewhere in here there are going to be Metra MP36's? Very cool to hear! Hate that locomotive, but wouldnt mind a model of one. Maybe I will get a model of Flipper

Tom: Both very nice locomotives- now you need Rock Bi-level trains for both. However, unless you are modeling #676 just out of the paint shop- she needs a bit of weathering. No Rock Island unit was ever that clean. I have a LL-Proto Pennsy F-7 AB set- you are right it is not as nice as the Highliner- Genesis shell, but it still is much better than most other units out there. BLI, Stewart, Intermountain and the original Athearn. Rick: Your CBQ car is impressive, my ECW Dry Flow kit never made it much further than opening the box. Away the kitbash in the box went, and maybe someday it will surface when I have time. Bill Oh dear me,did buffalobill just say Stewart f shells were as bad as original Athearn ? With some added details Stewarts are almost as good as Highliner/Genesis shells, minus the etched metal air grills. Ah ,f units.
