Key Model Imports Milwaukee Road #15 E6 A-A set Studio Shots

SANTIAGOP23SANTIAGOP23OGR Forum Member

These are my first Key engines and I am thrilled and humbled to have them. You really have to see them to believe them, these really are out of this world. I don't think this paint scheme has been featured in the forum, so I thought I'd post some pictures.

 

Alex from DCC trains helped me install the sounds in two of the new ESU Loksound L decoders. I thank him for that. Installation will take time and I will not rush it, plus I have my Q F3 project to finish first . When they are ready they will blow anything away in my collection.

 

I know these may be too many pictures, but these are so beautiful a few just don't do them justice.

 

Enjoy!

Beautiful engine set!  Assume those are in "0" gauge?  i do have the Lionel model of the same engine and will admit it falls far short of the examples in your photos.  i even shortened the distance beteen the two "A" units to improve the appearance but they still fall far short of yours.

It's owning a great piece of art that the average modelers don't have.

If you do not wish to have compliments of your photography and a great high end model, then you should have stuck with the Lionel model.

Not an E-6 fan, but I am going to guess that Key windshields are a bunch more accurate than the Lionel versions.  But I do like the accentuated rivet strips (battens?) on the Lionel.  The high end brass has these details barely etched in.  You cannot see them in Santiago's photos.  

Same for Overland - I prefer the MTH castings to Overland's PAs in part because the rivet strips are accentuated.  Of course I have to convert them to metal to be truly happy with them.

To each his own, right?
