Wayne Re: CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas) - Schraddel - 01-13-2017 Great workmanship Matt! Cheers Lutz Re: CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas) - sailormatlac - 01-16-2017 One got a serious case of weathering! Matt Re: CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas) - faraway - 01-17-2017 The chipped paint and the weathering look very impressive. Re: CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas) - doctorwayne - 01-17-2017 Yeah, very nice work, but it's disappointing to know that some of the CNR locos actually got to such a sad-looking state. Wayne Re: CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas) - BR60103 - 01-17-2017 There was a cartoon of 2 CN loco cleaners working on one of the N.A. map locos and one saying something about "Look what you've done, rubbing so hard."

Just look in the Books By Greg Mcdonell and you'll find a lot more. Re: CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas) - doctorwayne - 01-17-2017 I've seen them in my area, too...I wasn't inferring that that look was unusual. I was never too crazy about the black and orange scheme with the noodle, but that look on the sergeant-stripe paint scheme, in my opinion one of the all-time great paint schemes for hood units, was really distressing. As for the North American map scheme, it took me some time to realise what it was - I thought it to be an area of peeled paint, with grey primer showing through. Wayne Re: CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas) - sailormatlac - 01-27-2017 Is there a story behind the zebra/sergent stripes paint scheme? The old wet noodle is well-known, but not this one. We all thought the CN America logo was peeling paint... Another "nice" concept that doesn't stand the test of reality! Matt Re: CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas) - cnrglen - 06-04-2017 I love what you have done with these older RS units, Matt. I recently was given a proto1000 RS-11 but it is missing a lost all of the handrails as well as some grab irons. I was wondering if the Atlas handrails would fit if I can't track down the proto parts?

I don't have the locomotive with me, but I recall the handrails had a very similar spacing. However, I think you'll have to enlarge the mounting holes since Atlas handrails are bulkier than Proto. Matt Re: CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas) - cnrglen - 01-03-2018 Thanks Matt. Unfortunately I have since passed the engine onto another modeller and turned my attention onto an atlas RS-3 instead. |
