More New Haven Repaints, a 33 engine shell & a 514 boxcar

Below are pictures of my latest repaints, a New Haven 33 shell and a New Haven 514 boxcar.

Both items started out as Ebay junkers but now look pretty good.

For the 33 I have a nice original unit that I could put this shell on but I'd rather keep it original so I have an ad on the wanted page for a 33. If you have on you would like to sell please let me know. Also if anyone has a set of the lubrication plates that go in the front and rear door openings that they would part with let me know as these are the only parts I can't seem to find.

Ever do a #8 or #9? These box cabs more closely resemble the NH EP and EF electrics. Arno had a very interesting engine made up from 2 8's and two 2025 O mechanisms with two sets of drivers on each side to make it wide enough for STD (inside drivers without flanges). Would look great in the later NH scheme.

If you have any pictures of the engine Arno built I would be interested in seeing them. He was a fine craftsman. Yes I've done a couple of 8's and also an American Flyer Boxcab in the classic NH paint scheme. I've also done passenger cars to go with them and soon I hope to do a few more. Below are some pictures.

Right now I'm working on a couple of water towers, an old Bing and an AM Flyer 596 that will be B&M and NH towers and I'm just finishing a D&H caboose styled to go with my D&H I love NY boxcar. I'll do some pictures of all of these soon.

Wow, these are great, I particularly like the AF boxcab, might have to find me a junker and do one for myself.

Sure would be cool to have a STD gauge EP-3. (or EP4, or EP5!)

Here's photos of that engine that Arno showed me, pretty sure he acquired it and did not create it.

I'd call this a 'Super 8', what do you think?

That is indeed a "Super 8". If you have any more details on how it was built I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Below a re a few photos that I just took of my latest projects, a D&H I love NY caboose to go with my D&H I love NY car and an as received picture of my Bing water tower that is being redone.
