Whats in a nose!

 

EMC... hmmmm

Alco... hmmmm

 

Both purdy nice! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bob2 is right the viewing on OGR is a little small.... Sorry about that.

Well I'm drooling! I want...I want...I want

Those are gorgeous!

 

Erik, thanks much for sharing pix of your fabulous

 

Key ATSF PA_PB_PA units.

 

Eye candy for the O scale Warbonnet enthusiast.

 

Awesome!

 

 

 

Beautiful engines indeed.

 

Probably should change the subject name to "Shrine to First Gen Streamline Diesel Power"

 

OK I will stop 

No - what you should really do is start.  Get somebody to help with text, and get these truly spectacular photos in a hard bound book.  I will buy one!

 

Get Dave or Roger or both to help you get started.  Excellent publicity for them.  But you will have the satisfaction of preserving these photos in a classic manner.  And you maymake some  $?

 

Opinion.  By the way, your photos are copyright whether or not you say so - but enforcement, like patents, is another matter entirely.

Wow! Gorgeous locomotives, love to get a PA set of SP Daylight or D&RGW passenger units. ncng 

Bob,

Thank you so much for the love.

I would jump head first into a project like that. I do know at some point I will be doing a book about the Colorado midland model railroad. I likely will self publish - more or less in 5-10 years.

A hard bound book of these models specifically o scale only would be nice. "art of brass" or the brass trains book is HO almost exclusively. KOHs and Sunset make up 1% of what is out there. Yes a another brass book could be made.

Thanks bob serously coming from you that is a real honor.

Erik


       

Eric, if you EVER come back to LeMars and stop in Sioux City you had better not bring those with you. You WILL be held hostage!!! Those are beautiful!!!

 

Dick

Thanks for the heads up Dick. I will just drop them off at Patch Craft Hobby. ;-)


       

Erik - I've always enjoyed the pictures from the DSMR layout.  They are some of the best I've ever seen.  Don't stop for my benefit.  

 

I assume this is the City Of San Francisco engine, a real winner!

 

Did Key ever produce the E2's they were offering?

 

Eric,

Just how many of these beautiful locomotives do you have?

Peter

One of the high water marks of industrial design in the USA was the E5/E6 diesel locomotives. Magnificent!    And those Alco PA trucks - - - must be at least 87 feet wide!

Thank God for Key; there is still much beauty to be found in O Scale!

Don't forget the photographer

Don't forget the photographer

 

Flawless work!

 

Lights everywhere!

Fantastic photos as always Erik. The quality of your photos, videos and staging is without equal. I agree with Bob and would be a buyer of a book with photos of brass models produced in the past 20-25 years.  A lot has already been written and photographed on the older models, but the newer models are in a league of their own, but forgotten except for your excellent photo essays. Pictures, pictures, pictures. 

 

Butch

As I had mentioned in the PA thread...

 

OH.

MY.

GOSH!

 

They are the benchmark, the zenith, the penultimate... if you will, for detail and options.  I will be including only some of these details into my PAs, and they will never look like that.

 

Thanks,

- Mario

Thanks guys.

Riding the AT&SF Super Chief from Chicago to LA in 1959 must have forever burned that War Bonnet into my brain. All these locos look great......but those AT&SF units are SUPER!!! Thanks for showing.

Wow Dave that is amazing

Have any pictures from that trip?

Eric, what is available ( stock) from any 2 rail scale high end manufacturer.

 

Was key doing the cab forward?

 

Thank you

I do think the F's are beautiful in their own arena.

Brought forward for review

Thanks,

Ed

I don't know Ed

Good question

Rich?
