New project Alco repaint | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Sullyman626OGR Forum Member

I had someone give me a 1055 Texas special Alco dummy a couple years ago and it never really fit in with any of my other equipment and I personally thought that this was a no effort product by the Lionel corp. This unit had minimal decoration, no illumination, closed front skirt with no coupler and a non operating coupler on the rear, so for me this was a perfect repaint candidate. I am adding a cab interior, interior lighting, and possibly the MRC sound system. I picked up one of the terrible Port of Lionel city B-units for cheap at a show and gave it the treatment as well. Now I can't decide if I'm going to pickup a cheap powered unit to complete the consist or just run it with non matching units, either way here it is so far.......
