Here is a picture of my Hallmark GP18 painted up for Susquehanna. The drive has had some upgrades, and while still noisy, runs smoothly with no stalling. Eventualy the beacon will work as well. Mike

Thank you, here is a couple of my Susquehanna cars, an Athearn caboose done by Greenway products and a Bev-Bel custom Athearn quad hopper. I have a Tenshodo GP20 in the process of becoming a yellow jacket. Just did the frame stripping tonight. Need to get the shell primed and ready for paint this weekend. I hope to find a Alco models brass C430 to paint next year. Mike

Thank you for the post, here is a couple of my other Susquehanna items. First up is an Athearn caboose painted by Greenway Products and an Bev-Bel custom Athearn quad hopper. I am hoping to find an Alco models brass C430 to paint up. Trying to keep all of my motive power older brass imports. I have a Tenshodo GP20 in the process of becoming a yellow jacket. I put the stripping on the frame tonight. I need to get the shell primed this weekend so I can start masking it up. I seen that Bowser is going to do the C430's in Susquehanna colors with a fall 2013 delivery time frame. Mike

Very nice looking! I am however, going to shift this topic to the "Model Railroading forum". There
will still be a "shadow topic" here so that the thread is still accessible from this forum.

Very nice; thanks for sharing. I've been slowly building a Susquehanna roster of my own. I just purchased the Proto 2000 models of the 1802 and 1804. Plus, awhile back, I was able to acquire Atlas' special run model of the 252 in Bicentennial paint so I'm getting there.
