Man, we all love your work ! ! !

 

[n8phu]

It think this counts as a western road..... hehehehehehhehe

 

[UP5521]

amazing,no southern pacific locomotive roster is complete without these great units!

 

[n8phu]

Um, would it be bad of me to invalidate your statement by mentioning that some Cotton Belt and T&NO units will probably follow this?

EDIT: T&NO units are basically the same as the SP F7s, just different numbers.

That is one sexy unit, awesome work!

You do realize i'm convulsing right now, right? :hehe:

The SP bloody nose units are some of my favorites.

Though, my favs on the SP roster are the ones...Athearn, i think it is?...did with the skirts cut away and the grab-irons on the nose. They look awesome.

PS, i think...though take this at a grain of salt, since i'm no expert...that the grey needs to be a bit more flat in its shine. Then again, i've yet to see a truly clean SP diesel, so that might be it. but i just know the SP had the really neat dull gray.

 

[n8phu]

Yeah, I am finishing up the coloring work, then I'm going to weather the units which will kill that shine...

 

[betsy662]

Oh yes, these are great, at last we see stuff from west of the Mississippi!

 

[n8phu]

Um, then you'll love the BN F7s...I have in the pipe line

EDIT:

 

[UP5521]

that burlington northern unit is one great looking unit,like I said for the SP version of the same wheel arrangement,no diesel roster should be complete without these,I don't mind having a cotton belt unit either although they are almost the same!

 

[SantaFebuff]

n8phu,
May I weather these?

Cheers,
Joshua

 

[n8phu]

The SP or the BN ones?

I bought a few Model Railroading books on weathering , and A few hints from a few other people....

 

[rbar_164]

Me like both

 

[n8phu]

Scatches and rust are starting to show up on this veteran of the Tonnage wars.......

Great work Chris, keep it up. I like to moded front end for the snow. These were used alot on the Donner Pass route.

I'm sorry if I keep harping on about this, but might we see a D&RGW livery?

Again, keep it up, looks great

[n8phu]
