Not O scale but cool project we just had arrive Division Point C Liners in HO

I'll just have to live with my Life Like P1K model. It looks like the green CN loco needs a little fill work and touch up around the headlight...

 

What are these little jewels selling for?

Great models Erik!

 

Theses C liners have great details. Very fine models. That's amazing.

 

Be careful: you risk to give me the need to make a HO layout! 

 

Thank you to share.

Wow! No demo model from them either! MTH is bringing in their "Cookie Cutter" A unit only. I am not sure if it will have 3/2 trucks on them.

Erik,

going forward you can hold down 'alt' and type 0169 (in order) and get: ©

so your notation will read: all photos ©2015 Erik C Lindgren, instead of (c)

 

I'd be willing to be those Division Point HO C-Liners will cost more than MTH's O scale "cookie cutter" model.  I think Rapido Trains' HO C-Liners of several years ago went for about or slightly north of $300 with DCC and sound.

Beautiful models!

Maybe more time spent on updating the DP website instead of posting HO models etc. we could get an O scale RS 1,2,3. Stephen

Due to family commitments , other interests etc I've been away from trains for a couple years , but after buying 13 of the HO Division Point Alco RS's the O scale DP Alco project has been the only thing I've kept an ear in for a while . I just exchanged a couple e-mails with Jack and as many of you know through Erik's posts and the DP web-site it's been a hectic time for him of late . It's been pushed back by the other projects and move etc. , but I think you should make your feelings known directly to Jack to get things moving forward . Something about the squeaky wheel .

Based on the 900+ for the RS-3s I would say 1700+/- should put you in the ballpark,for HO collectors this is a serious hobby.

Sadly no PRR RS3. 

 

 

Glad you guys enjoyed the photos. I will update the rest of them in a few days. I'm know very little about the C Line FM locos. They are interesting for sure. The

Eric,

 

I recognize that bottle of wine in the background!

And  the dept. 56 coke? 

Was wondering if the windshield could be more flush with the outside skin, otherwise a nice model but not in U.P. 

It's the Fisher Price CD player that catches my attention!

I guess some of us never want to grow up. Ha!

Actually it's my baby's CD player.

Nice pics....but, one fly in the ointment. Nose/hood is too pointy. Looks like they might have confused the Erie Built nose with the C-Liners. The C-Liner hood was shorter and rounded (a pretty smooth arc around the front edge). If you look at the old Roco "O" version, they got the shape and contour pretty well.

That's it, lets just scrap em all! One opinion based on two different lenses and cameras with an infinite range of focal point, monitor differences, variations in eye sight, and eye shape. After all that we can come up with an assessment of an erroneous set of measurements and sculpt. Furthermore we're going to compare to a model made over 40 years ago, that isn't bad if this model is correct and many models are correct as far back as the 1930's. The C-Line drawings were reviewed by at least a dozen C-Line experts, these guys are crazy about them, I guess they were all wrong. I sure had nothing to do with it. But if I did I would have told them to make sure the opinions on OGR approve! 

Next thing you know we will be criticizing the color choices on the paint work. Many thanks to Rusty Traque for his wonderful example of how a photo cannot be used for assessing anything.

Thanks for your input.
Same model, as Rusty said so well.. "I wish paint would behave itself!"

Nope! Beautiful other than what I mentioned.

Those locomotives are very handsome. It is a shame they never really caught on because they are very "classy" in appearance. I think the models are exquisite.

 

My favorite, the CP Beaver scheme.

Erik, Nice to know some of the other interest you find yourself in like the Dept 56. I had bought into a lot of the snow village pieces. I just find it hard to find storage for all the pieces.

As Malcolm said, those are "very handsome."

 

They are a bit on the quirky side but I like them but then I am also partial to ALCO's

your drake deep deep rock looks pretty nice too.
