Weekly Photo Fun 9/7 - 9/13/18

I recently scooped up a "Rivet Counter" Scale Trains C39-8. Its a little beyond my modeling era, but it sure does look cool. I preordered their "early Conrail" SD40-2s and if this C39-8 is any indication, I will have a lot to be excited about. The detail isn fantastic. Even the bearing covers rotate when the engine moves!





The blower motors and radiator fans are inside the see-thru screens. I don't think I've ever seen any of this represented on a model of a GE locomotive. Some have the see-thru screens but never the details behind them!





The red markers function on this locomotive. I've seen working markers on passenger engines but not the red markers on Conrail diesels. Gonna have to use this as a rear pusher!



Even though they are 6 months old I figured I'd post these here. They were part of an "April fools" joke, but also to test the waters to see if there was interest in adding a street car line to our club layout. It probably won't happen, but the roads are plastic and so they can always be modified. I thought they looked cool.
