BN MODEL PHOTOS

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Ok, Like I said before, I’m new at this posting pics thing so it may not be as clear as the people who know what they are doing.

1st up. We have the freelanced FA & FB (EX GN #442D )
note: this is what they may have looked like if they made it the cascade green scheme. The road numbers are prototype, I didn’t take pics of the B unit becuase It’s not finished yet . The A is 95% finished.

2nd. We have the F3’s. Since nobody did these in HO for BN or made a poor looking/running one (COX), Kato did them in N scale, but the numbers are for the F7. (LOOK IT UP # 710) I wanted to make my own. Again, the road numbers are prototype and also not finished (ran out of decals)
The B unit sideframe isn’t missing, it’s been painted and have been put back on yet

The FA’s & F3’s has been Sprayed Painted (Krylon). That’s how I paint my locos and Ect. I’m not in Air brushing buisness. (Not bad for a spray paint job - Ha) I think I got spay painting mastered to the T. These models are Proto 1 & 2000.

Last but not least. BN-1 & BN-2 (Athearn shells, Proto 1000 F UNIT drive)
They (Athearn) say it’s a F7, BUT the BN-1 & 2 were F9’S. All I have to do to make them correct is add a different vent on the roof. I plan to get it form Bachmann (First Line) F9. They are the only one’s who put the square vent on the roof to make their F9 look like a F9. Others, you really can’t tell the difference between a F7

What colors did you use for the executive scheme?? My LHS told me they weren’t available over the counter???

While the BN FAs might be ficticious. the Dash 8 is not.

WHOA, I didn’t know it was on the roster. I was just doing a completly freelanced thing. This pic really helps now. Thanks a million

Those FA’s are COOL! Could you list all your engines if you don’t post pics? Just curious how many you have.

Oh wait, I seen this before. What I’m doing is a Dash 8-40. Sorry for not clearifing. The FA is not Fiction. BN did get them in the merger of GN & SP&S. They just didn’t make the cascade green paint scheme. # 4118 the BN # former GN # 442D

No problem. As you have already checked by now, It looks like there was only three of them and they didn’t last to long. I wouldn’t be suprised if they were early demonstrator versions given the length of time on the roster.

These are Athearn painted shells. All I did was add detail and a better drive.

I know the FAs made the roster I was refering to the ficticious paint scheme. and as for the Dash 8s, I get your drift.

Sure.
FA
F7 A/B (Right now it’s not painted as I’m trying to find the correct paint color. These will not be painted in cascade green. I’m looking to model the MOW unit in machanical red #9760. Never done before, so this should be a hit !!!
F3 A/B
F9 A/B
F45
E7
E8 (some people may say E8/E9, BUT BN had differences. The E9 had no port holes. The BN E8 did)
E9
B23
C30-7
C424
C425
C636
GP38
GP35
GP10

It feel’s like I’m leaving one of my ladies out, Have to double check later

I don’t have any SD , SW, units as of yet, but plan to get some. I also plan to branch out in to the merger rosters of BN like GN , SP&S, BURLINGTON Route, ect.
