Wow, that's beautiful.  The side shot at speed looks real.

 

BTW, Erik, looks like your DNS expired 7/29/14.

Wow!!!

Can you buy the details seperately?

Hello Erik

Excellent Photography & Project

 

My favorite is of the Rio Grande

Now that is absolutely stunning! Malcolm

Beautiful. Clever, these humans. Definite advantage of using an under-floor shaft drive.

Erik,

Beautiful model and great photography.  Thanks for sharing.

What decoders are you using?  Did you use a separate decoder for the lights?

Thanks again,

Ed

Might be my favorite PA color scheme.  I saved the Grande Gold PA photo - hope you don't mind.

I want one!

Its to bad they cant do that 3RS engines. That's just great. Are you going to detail the interior sections? 

Coupler mounting can't get any tighter in detail and illusion of reality with this design. Complex is an understatement however the implied effect is so cool.

Bob throw me your email I will send you a high res of the image.

Thanks fellas glad you enjoyed the pictures

What decoder are you installing?

Lets not forget there is a toilet casting in the engine room as well. It is in the rear area.

what an awesome thread! keep the pics coming. I would love to see the details of the decoder installation and whatnot.

Thanks Erik,

 

It gives me an idea of what is in the E's.  I was going to use the Key interior as a model for my 3rd Rail E7's.  Looks like it will be doable.

 

I need to start thinking about DCC.  Is removing the shell fairly straightforward?  

 

Did you wire the lighting to the decoder?

 

Thanks

When you guys figure out how to put wireless DCC in brass let me know.

Unbelievable level of detail. Thanks for starting this thread. Very informative.

Just out of curiosity, what did the Key Imports Rio Grande PAs sell for? I bet it was well north of two grand.

I think it was more like 2800 for AB if it was ABA  4200

Get in touch with Greg at RGS RR Hobbies. He has mastered the Airwire system in brass.

A set of these are rare, maybe 3 sets of 4 stripe were built. I would need well north of $4200 to sell these 3 models.



       

Is that a prb royal gorge set?

Thanks for posting the pictures, and answering a question I could not find, the answer, price.     Wonderful models.
