Looks great Gary. Can't wait until you post a video when it gets back to you.

Evan’s Xmas present ?  Looks Nice. He’s going to love it. Now you need to get him about 50 hoppers to go with it.

Yes for the Army boy,  fifty hoppers will have to wait until he has his own layout.

That looks really good Gary, ….not overly done either,….he did just the right amount!…

I needed something different than what Harry has been doing for me.  If you have enough of Harry's weathering jobs on your pike you begin to notice they look the same.   Not saying that's bad but Harry has a style and when does dirty engines look the same.

I get it.  People do have a style and like you said it's not a bad thing but you do tend to notice it when you have a lot of the same artist's work.  No problem mixing it up.

Nice work.  The 3rd Rail Virginian 2-6-6-6 Class AG Blue Ridge he converted to Legacy and weathered for me is a work of art -- probably the single nicest locomotive I own.  Highly recommend Bruk's work.

Beautiful locomotive!

The A Class has always been my favorite articulated - looks 'hunkered down' as compared to several others who actually appear somewhat top heavy. Lol!

Congratulations to your son for his recent Army graduation.

Great looking engine Gary. I am not familiar with Bruk. I presume he does private work. Can you share his contact info? Thanks Bill Park

Bill:

Bruk is a OGR Forum member.  You can find his contact information in his profile.  His OGR Forum name is Bruk.  He converted a Lionel N&W Class A to Legacy for me.

His name is highlighted in my original post.  @Bruk click on his name and his profile will pop up. I will warn you he has a lot of work, and it’s going on six months for some of my engines he has.

Agreed, doesn't look anything like a zebra. 😉

Gary, Thanks for the info. Bill

Yes he does. Has quite a backlog. I'm still on the waiting list.

I think I'm averaging one every seven months.  He has a brass Mohawk of mine, and I still need to send him my MTH Challenger I've had the parts for over a year now.  Does great work but you are going to wait.  The neat thing about this project, is Bruk had a second class A which he did along side mine.  So there's a lucky fellow who's getting there Class A soon.

Yeah, I had messaged him I think a month or two after he messaged about price increases that would be taking effect. I said I don't mind paying for great work, just let me know when to send them. That's where I sit which is okay. I can wait.
