SW8 Fixed Pilot w Gondolas

Here is a short video pulling the gons.

Looks great Dave!

As always Dave, beautiful modeling. It is because of you that I am considering 3RS (considering, no decision yet).

Malcolm

Nice work, Dave!

Sweet Dave!. Curious why you chose plexi-glass for the spacer? Just happen to be the right height?

Looks great Dave!!!

That's the only reason. It was the first thing I found with the correct thickness.

Dave

Nice work Dave!  Care to share what the plexi-glass thickness was?

Thanks for the compliments!

Tom,

I will have to measure that tonight.

Dave

When is your layout going to show up in a magazine? 

You are definitely building a wonderful layout, and a fine looking stable of motive power.

Jerry

I saw this video on one of the facebook sites, very nice. What load is in the first gondola? I also saw the post of your friend's new layout, that's going to be something to see.

Don,

The load is just and MTH coiled wire load.

Brian's layout is going to be pretty spectacular!

Thanks,

Dave

Jerry,

Just trying to finish up the layout.  I have too many ideas left to complete.  Maybe in a year or so.

Thank you all for the nice comments!

Dave

I made a couple buffer/transition cars for hot metal moves.  Has anybody installed Kadees on Lionel's hot metal or slag cars?

Dave, patience pays off. The cars and engine look great.............Paul

Dave,

As always a very nice job.  You guys over here on the 3RS forum do unbelievable work.  I wish my efforts were 1/2 as good as yours.

Upgrading the Atlas handrails is the way to go!

I'm happy with how my SW1200 turned out.
