I've been working on a new reskin project the past couple days. I thought I could turn S&A 750 into a ATSF 2-6-2, so I went ahead and this is how it turned out! This loco is Santa Fe 1010, a Prairie that earned fame hauling Scott Special, a recording breaking passenger train on the ATSF that preceded the Super Chief.

Nice! Do you have any plans to release it?

Also there is a version of 1010 in red

The 1010 reskin is a part of a pack I'm working on that is coming soon. That's an interesting paint scheme for 1010. What's the story behind it?

1010 was used at the exhibition and was painted red as such. There is more to the story but it has been about 5 years since she was a candidate for restoration and I can’t remember all the bits. She was in a film with Reagan. I want to say the exhibition was in 1959 but it could have been 49. I know it was still red until about 1970.

Thanks for the information! I'll include that when I write the lore for the engine that you can read whenever you call it up in Content Manager, or in the railyard. I also found out that 1010 is actually an oil burner, and the coal in the tender was fake.

I might use the same technique for 1010's fuel that was also used for tbryson2's museum General; although the locomotives use a liquid fuel, the coal load serves as visual indicator for how much fuel is left in the tender.

I wonder if the SP shops that ATSF 1010 is in is that place that's going to become SP 2479's home

Well, look ... no. I'm in one little closed group (5 people) and I do reskins for us and that was in private collections.

Sorry

Still illegal what you're doing but whatever floats your boat

Threw together a model of a steam locomotive undergoing monthly maintenance. Kind of halfway in between my operational model and my completely-torn down one.

Here, we see AMTK S2040 (Shinkansen #2040) southbound somewhere between Philadelphia and Wilmington, running a newly acquired 700 series trainset acquired from JR sometime in the early 2020s. In the background is what I believe to be the former Baldwin factory (?), so now we have the place where the speed demons of the past were built, passed by their modern equivalent.

Huh, kinda reminds me of those British Blue Bullet Trains

It's not a great reskin,but I think it looks better than the old one. Still needs some colour tweaking and a bogey adjustment,but other than that I think it's just about done. The PRR P70 observation in the front is my reskin,the one in the back is the PRR P70 observation that I reskined so it did not have the "Bruised Cherry" colour on it. At least I think the colour on the original one reminded me of a bruised cherry...
