Weekend Photo Fun 10/27/17 HONGZ Halloween Edition

Working on weathering a Bachmann HO Crane car and I've just about got it done.

Wiring 101 today.

Started to ballast too.

Also brought up the rolling thunder sub woofer.

Here’s the newest addition to my fleet, some AF tin with atlas motor!

Hey Pete,  How do you like the Rolling Thunder setup?  You have a BLI N&W Class A don't you with it?

I saw a few cab forwards in my SP DVD with a red roof, not sure about the entire engine painted like that mth engine. I will watch it again tomorrow while it's raining and let you know.

Thanks Pete.

Great Picture's Etc. Everyone!!!

Hi John,

The DVD I have, SP 1941, SP Steam, SP- The coast line. All of the cab forwards are mainly black, some have a silver jacket below the smoke stack, some have silver below the windshield. Not one in any of the 3 parts of the DVD did they have the paint scheme as the MTH engine. It might of looked like that after a overhaul, most of the road #'s in the DVD were 4200 series. Some were below 4128, I did not see 4133 at all.

Thanks Pete, that was a bit of work on your part and I very much appreciate it.

I think the SP did have a gray boiler on some of the earlier Cab Forwards, in the 4120's (lower numbers in that series).

I remember that from when someone at a hobby shop my Uncle owned had a fellow who did some great paint work on brass locos.  He did an AC-4 with the gray boiler.

Broadway Limited is also offering the gray boiler as well on some of the locos.
