Presume you mean Builder is Baldwin Locomotive works.

No. It's a builder's photograph, and OGR now requires to list the author of reference material. Got an email saying post photo info or the post will be deleted. The author is BLW, as far as I'm concerned.

The Car Works Custom CB&Q VO-1000

 

Except for the awful Weaver Drive, this was a very enjoyable model to work on. I truly love the sobriety of the as delivered paint scheme with the white walls on the wheels. Very elegant if you ask me. The assignments will be reduced to switching my heavyweight cars here and there. 

Very nice! Lets see some photos of your layout, especially the switching of your heavyweight cars.

Just started working on it...

My Key AT&SF E6 testing ballasted track...

Additional pics...

Bill Davis’ all-brass engine washing equipment... love it!

this was before my new layout... but still.... here you can see the lighted gauges I managed to model in this model. All incandescent bulbs. No LEDs, thank you. 🤢

That’s my brass Oriental Limited CB&Q MB-23 RPO 👍🏼. My favorite car in my collection and a nice addition to my all-brass Expo!

I've watched this three times now'.. I find the lighted gauges and that interior just completely outstanding'..  I've bought car kits from Jack, at Allegheny.  He has some great stuff.  Nice job on those lights'...  👍👌👀

Thanks, Ted!

Santiago,  Great work!  The layout is coming right along and appreciate the photos you've sent of the progress! 

Thanks, Mike! I'm happy to share them!

Beautiful but I don't see MY GIRL in that video! 

hehe she's around!

There’s a simple way to improve the Weaver drive you find awful. Replace the sprockets and chain with cog pulleys and belts. Sterling Instruments has an enormous selection. If you want to change drive ratio.

if needed, also put a motor with stronger magnets.

Thanks for the info!

The amazing Jay Criswell hooked me up with a set of OMI wheels for this engine! The original kept rusting, even in dry conditions. Jay rocks!

love it you are the best

Thanks, Marty! Appreciate that!

SANTIAGOP23 !!!

works of art as continued.

So good of you to share them.

Love the videos. 

thank you.

leroof

 Beautiful'  Your work always lights up my day and puts a big smile on my face'... Thanks for all the effort you give to this forum'... Very much appreciated Santiago'...⭐😁👌👍🏻⭐

Great model of CB&Q's early black diesel switcher scheme.  An austere livery that only a mother or a true Q fan can love.  

After WWII, all of the Q diesel switchers were repainted into their famous black & gray Blackbird livery with the red & yellow border stripes.

Great upgrades for the interior lighting !!!

Santiago!

You inspire all of us !

Thanks for the kind response, everyone!
