GEC's Layout Progress

[Green_Elite_Cab]

I probably should have elaborated in that i used styrene to plug the holes, and the capiliary action of the CA to fill in the seams.

New Aquisitions

I have just aquired 5 Amfleet I Phase 1 coaches and 2 Amfleet I Phase I food service cars. Its enough to model the Senator on a regular non-friday weekday. I'm hoping to maybe find a few more Walthers Amfleet Is to match. I know they're not perfect, but they're better than some of the other amfleets out there. two or three more coaches would let me model the majority of Amtrak trains on the corridor during the late 1978/79 (When GG1s still ran for conrail, and MP54s were still grinding along).

They were is rough shape, but i should able to fix them. One coach came with working tail markers, and the worst damage appears to be some kind of glue on the windows. I can't figure out what it is, its hard as a rock, but it didn't craze. I may be able to get spare window sets.

RIP Track

Also, my Catenary poles have been repaired from that Protoype meet back in october. As it turns out, some of the missing pieces were actually wedged into the channel of the H-columns.

I attempted to replace the headlight in my PRR J1 2-10-4 (Broadway Limited). Getting the headlight replaced was easy enough, but the headlight still won't turn on (meaning maybe my headlight wasn't blown out in the first place). I can't seem to figure that one out.
