Although not really a fan of the CB&Q, this is a terrific picture...and your work is outstanding.

Thanks, Mark!

You've made some really nice trains even nicer. Real eye candy. Great photos, too.

Santiagop23,

First of all, I really like what you are doing with "my" Burlington models. I admire your work and only wish I had the skills that you do in bringing the Q to life in O gauge. I have followed you for several years on the form.

Wonder if you can contact me off list as I have some questions about the F3's you customized. I can not find your email in your profile, although we have made contact before outside of the Forum.

My email is:  TCZEPHYR@HOTMAIL.COM

Thank,

Email sent, Ray. You’re very generous! Thanks!

Simply couldn't do this without William Glick's books

Thank you Santiago for an excellent and most inspiring post!

You're welcome! Just sharing what I love

I know these very highly detailed passenger cars are out of my League, so to speak, but they are very nicely made. So, were they made in Korea, and who did the painting? They look so realistic, WOW, Thanks for the pictures.

Larry, both were made in Korea and came unpainted. I painted the Oriental  Limited car using enamels and dry transfers from Clover House.

Someday Santiago, .....when I grow up I wanna be just like you! .....that’s stunning paint work!....I’ll get to your league someday!

PS.....where’s the area supervisor? She’s not present in this photo op......

Really terrific painting and lettering! That's a beautiful RPO.

I really like O 2 Rail Scale, the track so realistic, everything so precise, so feature rich....Louis Ertz, passed away several years ago, had the most beautiful O Scale model Railroad I ever visited. He lived in an upscale neighborhood in Memphis Tennessee, and every time I called him, he said come on by and we would watch his O Scale trains run flawlessly and beautifully on his 30 by 45 foot layout. It was a showcase layout, finely finished in his living room.....A work of Art, hand laid track, scale structures, a roundhouse to die for, a layout so wonderful, it was so great that OGR made a super nice video of his work.  Rich Melvin did a really great video of his creation and I would highly recommend everyone in 2 Rail Scale to watch this particular video, as it’s the very best O Scale layout I have ever seen. 

Santiago, this is why I say I am not in your league, Your work is Amazing and I hope you’ll post pictures of your layout.  Your passenger car is very nice. Happy Railroading 

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I really appreciate it. Happy railroading!

Working on my PSC Hudson for a perfect match!

Someday Santiago, I’ll get as good as you...it is my destiny!......great work....inspires me to do better!.......Pat

Ooooo ..Exposition Flyer!  I want a Rio Grande version...nice car!

I appreciate the enthusiasm, Pat! This may be my favorite engine!

God I love this car!

Santiago - Your solarium car brings to mind the Omaha Club, which was employed on a number of occaisions with Burlington steam locomotives pulling railfan excursions. Circa late '50's-early 60's.  Don't know what became of the car.

Have you finished this one yet? I am a fan of observations and solariums and would like to see your progress on it.

Mark and Dave,

An Omaha Club would be delightful, but this car is closer to a PULLMAN BURLINGTON LIGHT/HOUSE solarium. 

I  haven't been able to start work on this car, been busy with other projects.

I did a 14 section PSC car, I should post about it.
