"FALLEN FLAGS" FRIDAY

Three Fallen Flags in one photo...!!

My first attempt at weathering.  I got this from Al from Toronto.  When I unpacked it it was heavily weathered so I backed off the powder (the entire loco was the same color as the lower area right behind the cab in the first photo) and airbrushed the vents and exhaust black.  It was a good learning experience.

Nice job! Looks like the real SOO SD40-2s did.

                                                               Nice job on the SOO!

Let's see what we got here, Pennsylvania, Seaboard, Wabash, Nickle Plate and New York Central.

Oh yeah, Marx!

Early morning, mid-1949, and a SR F2AA is moving up to connect to its train.  After this run, it will be going to the shops for minor maintenance and get the new simplified green/imitation aluminum scheme.  

The engines are Atlas O and the cars are Lionel.  The Tuxedo scheme (black/imitation aluminum) is still 11 years away.

This is a shot of my Post War 736 with Pennsylvania marked 6-axel tender and all ten 9500 series cars from the General Mills era.  Is this a double Fallen Flags since neither the Pennsy nor the Lionel Corporation are still around?  I very seldom run this set, the last time was a few years ago.  I inherited it from my brother.

That is a beautiful shed you have, I have the same exact shed and was wondering how you got it to look like that.

Thanks. I just dragged a darker brown over the still wet lighter brown.
