Got some new pics of a new model I threw together rather fast after getting the idea. I was hoping to have it at this stage for the BTS, but I was too busy to work on it, now I’m home while our bathroom is getting remodeled,so NOW I have time…always seem to oodles of time AFTER my deadlines are past…
Anyway this is an MDC Hustler block, Mack hood and cab, built on an El Cheepo K-line gondola…and a bunch of spare change in parts, plastic stock, and wood shapes.
So what do you think?
So what should I paint it? I was thinking stock Borracho Springs colors, silver body hood and panels, and black chassis…[:D]
Looks like you’ve got another “One Of AKind”. Excellent Job.
What color? My vote is to stain the lumber on the “cow catcher” with a dirty stain, paint the “currently white steel” a rusty color, then just “weather” the rest of it. I mean this is a beautiful OOAK, and there are so many variants of the “Goose Fleet” running around now anyway. To my line of thought the gloss silvery tin look, while authentic, is getting a little overworked. If you feel you really need to paint it then I would go for an “MOW” dirty gray.
Hi Vic
Another interesting beast.
Any colour you like as long as its Black[:D]
Though possably being in revenue service crimson lake has its appeal
or may be Brunswick Green.
The front pilot beam should be buffer beam red.
That must be at least 4 cents worth [:D]

Hi Vic
All you need know is some luggage and some chook crates in the tray and too couple it back to back with the silver rail bus.
And I would say you have a rather different and interesting local train service
what do you think??
