SOONUT; Finished!

Really nice! Is that a Weaver Models or an Atlas O unit?

Thank you & it is a Weaver.

(Applause)  Very nice work, Soo.  What is the duct on top of the hood for?

Tom

The duct on the hood top brought warm air from the radiator area back to the generator during the winter months. Soo RSC2 & RSC3 were used in the lite rail areas of the Dakota's where fine snow was a problem. All where retrucked to B-B in the early 60's using trucks from retires Baldwin DRS4-4-1500.

Brother-Love is a very talented man.

My apology, Brother Love, for crediting Soo Nut with your craftsmanship.  Not that he isn't a fine modeler and a true son of the Soo Line, but this is your work.  He was kind enough to nudge me to look again at the user name on the post, without calling me an idiot.

Tom

Tom,

I may be the idiot because I did not even notice it. Malcolm

Hey George, Almost done!

Very, very nice, the weathering really sets off the duct work. This loco will look great pulling one of your wood cabooses you built for me.

Thank You

George

Very nice!

How was the weathering done and with what colors?

Lee,

Earth & grimy b lack and mixture of the two. Louvers were masked and then weathered, yeah! that is fun.

Malcolm

You had to do it yourself because Weaver Models has not produced any Soo Line painted diesels.

Very realistic.

Andrew

Soo, you have a very fine model, there.  I do believe the old Alco-GE looks like she's ready to spot and pull elevators night and day, during the next wheat rush.  Start nailing grain doors into the box cars.

And, if I had two heads, I'd tip both hats to Brother Love.  Not only did he build you a beautiful model, but his weathering is the most realistic I have ever seen.

Tom
