Genesis V Blowout

Good luck with them Dave.  WBB knocked those out of the park.  FYI those engines make a good PS-2 conversion.

I'll be riding behind those this week on the Lake shore Limited!  Very nice Dave and you can't beat the price!

We traveled to Denver from the bay area a few years ago on Amtrak. Had the big room with our own bath. Loved it. Glad you scored Dave. 

Actually, Marty, I'm a ERR dealer/installer, so they will get TMCC at some stage. MTH won't sell me PS2.

Dave,

 

Do you have a link?  I searched their website but came up empty handed.

Don,

last October I rode from NY to Florida and back behind a Genesis, here's a pic I took along the Hudson in upstate NY one day while rail fanning with Scrappy.

 

Bill, just had a look, they seem to have all gone. I know Lionel Bill got one, may have been the last.

Okay.  Thanks, Dave.  I figured that might have been the case.  I hope to find a set and upgrade them to PS2.

As soon as I got back from my cross country trip in 2011 I bought a set of the Williams units. They did not have Phase V schemes yet so I bought mine with plans on repainting them. Made up custom decals for the units I rode on to LA......and then WbB announced the phase V.....so now what do I do?!?!?!? The units I have are great and well done....but I want V too........buy another set???

Dave, we stopped in some interesting places and saw some interesting people on the way. Loved the trip. I think the guy second from the left on the last picture was reaching for his gun.  You don't see this from a jet. Don

Nice looking model.  Do all those lights (marker lights?) actually light up?  Does the B unit have these lights also?

The cab has a single bulb that lights the marker and head lights in both units. I have a set of the phase V and they are good looking and smooth runners. I plan on installing some LED's to brighten the head lights and ditch lights. 

Pulling the Southwest Chief!

Great photo above.  Great touch.

I have one of the early scheme WBB Genesis. The scheme I always wanted was the early 90s first release with the red white and blue stripe that fades. It was really cool looking like a flag at high speed. I saw these on the Auto Train in Lorton VA in my early railfan days in high school. This was one of the first Genesis assignments.  Ive never seen this scheme done. My plan is to mask and airbrush it in light grey myself on mine when I figure that out.

In this scheme I was hoping WBB would number one unit as 44 to pull my MTH Georgia observation car.
