Well I finally got some nerve to clean up the DLH cab this thing was all kinds of whacked out the thing wasnt even level one side was 2 HO scale feet taller and would sit crockeyed so had a SD80MAC cab leftand cut the Battery boxes and smoothed out some rough spots ... putty and paint will look like New

Well I was thinking about doing their flares cause Modeltrainstuff.com has some undec. Kato SD70MACs for around $70-80 bucks . I wouldn't mind a set of those for run through power ,I still have a set of decals for the AC4400CW I was gonna do but I made that black and slapped 7655 on it

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting a couple of foreign units... not sure which yet... prob be down the road a little.

Badhorse79 · April 07, 2012, 12:03:42 PM

Foreign as in Kato ... or NS power Foreign

NSMoWandS · April 07, 2012, 12:38:39 PM

Foreign... as in not CSX/Chessie/SBD/Conrail. One will def be a NS... not sure about the other... possibly UP(ugh!) because CSX has UP power run through all the time... but maybe a regional... like B&P or W&LE. But, def a NS unit for sure... not sure which unit... possibly a SD70 standard cab... since CSX only has widecab 70's...

PS- prob going to re-paint a SD40-2 into a lease unit too... since I have 3 of them! haha!

Actually got to see two FURX green and silver on the NS main today dropping off a few hoppers and coal loads.

NSMoWandS · April 08, 2012, 11:54:34 AM

Yeah that's what I was thinking... I like the green and silver better than the yellow/red units or the dark blue units.

Well here's the conductors side ... while I was at it I changed the number ... 2623 is now on the district Ive only managed to decal this side so far ... and I know her steps aren't right and the ditch lights are coming soon .. for $30 the company could take some time to improve em gees

NSMoWandS · April 14, 2012, 10:33:08 PM

Didn't even notice the steps...
