All bow to the mighty Scottychaos!

Nice job....Are you ready to pass out from all that work? It looks like it took you a while to do!

Nice one, Scot. Looks EXACTLY like the model, sitting on my desk, right now, except the canvas cab awning, and wind deflectors are present on mine. If you are so inclined, the "as delivered" 112 had white tire rims, on the wheels. Hand painted, and visible only for a scant few months, they sure look sharp, when viewed in proper lighting! I am now waiting for the Baldwin, and Alco switcher, pre-war delivery shots, when you colorize them, as well. Regards :wink:

you may notice something a little odd about the next one! :wink:
I was thinking "what if the LV got a few PRR T-1's and streamlined them?"
the result! :P

these arent colorized B&W photos, but are re-worked modern color photos:

Great artistry, Scot! Could you colorize a Wyoming and post it here?

Great Job!! Thanks for letting those of us "born too late" experience just a little bit of how things were (in color!!).

GREAT SHOT, Scott. Thanks. I sure wish LV had kept the early multicolor paint scheme, although the Yellowjackets look real nice.

I guess a better wish is that the Lehigh Valley Railroad still existed and is profitable too.
