RMT BEEFs I'd Like To See (Now w/Christmas BEEFs)

A few there Walter might do!!!

How about the Blue and Yellow Santa Fe warbonnet scheeme.  I just ordered the Texes Beef ABA set and like the details on it.  We will use it for the smaller layout during the Holidays.    

Speaking of holidays...he should have done a Christmas BEEF.  That should have been among the first liveries made.  Probably would have done very well.

Milwaukee Road Hiawatha maroon, orange and black might be a winner. Not sure if I'd buy one or not, though - I already have a Beef set in B&O and while I like the little things, I don't intend to start a collection. 

SouthWest Hiawatha,

  By the lake of Gitchee-Goomi, BAM!  Looks pretty good in Milwaukee Road colors, huh?  

 

Anymore requests?  This is fun. 

 

 

 MILWAUKEE ROAD (HIAWATHA)

SOU apple green passenger and SOU (not NS) Tuxedo black/white

Ann Arbor Orange or the new UP ripoff  (he says as he ducks...)

How about an AREA 51/Groom Lake BEEF. That would be out of this world!!

 

Tony

Up on "The D & H Bridge Line"

You know, it would be cool if the shells were interchangable....

 

Then you could just buy shells in different road names...

 

....and they could make PA shells, or E shells,  or Baldwin sharks...hmmmm...

 

 

Alright. Last ones for the night (maybe). I had to do Rio Grande as my older brother's favorite train growing up was his Athearn Rio Grande HO F3.  Just a great looking engine.

 

 UNION PACIFIC BEEF

 

RIO GRANDE BEEF

The B&O Beef is awesome looking.  I really like to see a Western Maryland Beef though.

 I needed a Amtrak and a Burlington for gifts. Hope they make them!

So, I ordered a Pennsy instead. It's the Gkids other fav flavor.

well i'm a big Penn Central fan.... how bout these?

... with the oil of Aphrodite

and the dust of the Grand Wazoo...

 

 

 WESTERN MARYLAND BEEF

 

 

GREAT NORTHERN BEEF

 

 

SOUTHERN BEEF

 

PENN CENTRAL BEEF

I'm in on a Penn Central, also need a LIRR to match the new passentger cars.

Goodfellow scheme, Blue and white, or Metro Red and Blue?

'64 worlds fair, orange and grey

I decided did them all for you.  I need a BEEF ABA to pull my RMT 64 World's Fair cars too.

 

 

LIRR Goodfellow / 64 World's Fair BEEF

 

 

 

LIRR Blue & White BEEF

 

 

LIRR MTA BEEF

I wanted one quickly to use with my Marx Super Circus to pull some 6" flats with animal cages. Knock this out in a few hours last night. It's a quick & dirty project but will do for the GTE this weekend. I used a broken Marx E7 shell & a BEEP chassis.

Maybe RMT can do a nice circus version.

Great job SeaBilliau. I own one of the K-Line MTA blue units. If only RMT had put the NYWF logo on the cars like in the photo I posted earlier.

They did.

I wrote a review them as well:

I've ordered a spare Beef A unit and will try to make/bash it into something I spoke about on another thread: a model of "Chuggington."  If you have 3 and 5 year olds around you know all about him - the diesel equivalent of Thomas, my grandduaghter informed me, and "much more powerful."  Ought to be an easy project - Chugginton as a very short F3 type loco . . . with a big smile!!!

Hello. I was refering to the NYWF orange and blue logo with the Unisphere as shown in the picture. RMT put dashing Dan on both ends of the cars where the ones used during the fair had (1) dashing dan and (1) NYWF. I had written Walter about it a while ago. I still love the cars.

Ed,

  Ahh, I see it now. 

 

Lee,

  I think the BEEFs would be a good platform for making a Chuggington loco. Of course, I can't read the words 'Chuggington' without singing that dreaded song, argh!  I find the look of the Chuggington locos resemble the British "F" looking trains. Not sure what type they actually are though. Please post some picts when you're done.

Christopher

Yes, that song is - well, pretty tiring as often as you hear it.  I will not put a digital chip on that song in that  loco!  I promise.

These would be pretty cool...

 

ZPHYR

 

 

PEEP ZYPHR cars

I like the Zephyr. Walter should see the sketch, it might be a winner. The only problem is, it's a two-railroad item (you could also do it as the Flying Yankee) and that makes it harder to generate enough sales to amortize the tooling costs. Sure is cool looking, though. 

Southwest, Thanks. I think it would be a neat addition to their line as well. I disagree that it has to be limited to two lines. Of course proto-wise there were only two lines that used this shape. Three if you include NH's Comet. But I think this line could be done in any RR name. The best part of RMT is that their many lines play to whimsy and the best parts of why we play with trains. I think it would be cool to see the ZPHYR in a SF war bonnet or with NYC whiskers along the stainless steel. It'd be a risk but imagine if it came as a two piece set with the engine and attached parlor car. It'd be about 18 inches long making it small and inexpensive enough for even the most die hard 3r person to want one for a fun toy piece. Just a thought.

Simce these are fun units and not prototypical how about a conrail in blue and white 

I still don't see a Christmas version.  Tsk, tsk, tsk! 

I would jump all over a Zephyr Beef! That's nice work!

 

And I'm with Allan, a Christmas Beef would be pretty fun as well...

 

redrockbill

Minneapolis Light Rail. Might even look prototypical!!!

I am with Allan, a Christmas Beef for the Peeps.

Well with that shovel nose you could also do the New Haven Comet that had two cabs to run push-pull, the Rebel, and the SAL and later SCL shovel nose diesel.

On my projects to be done stack is the cab castings of a Lionel M-1000 turret cab that I was going to "Beepify".

This one's for Allan,

 

 

Christmas BEEF (Northern Pacfic Scheme)

 

 

 

Christmas BEEF 2 (Goodfellow Scheme)

Give that top one red striping rather than orange and you have a winner.

Allan,

  I used the Orange and Green as that is what the RMT BEEFs used. But, I changed the colors to Red and Green.

 

Liam,

  I'll get to that ConRail Blue and White soon.

 

 

 

Christmas BEEF 3 (My favorite of this batch)

 

Or

 

Christmas BEEF 4

 

 

Christmas Goodfellow BEEF w/red

The first one in the series would be my choice, followed by the second rendition.  Both look very nice!

Liam,

  Here's a nice CONRAIL for you:

 

 

And a bonus...
