Nice, my 3636 will be undergoing MAJOR rebuilding from top to bottom.

Just one bit of "advice", when shooting pics of models. Consider taking an extra minute, or two, and consider the background in the shot. While it's nice to see the models, the clutter around them seriously detracts from them, at the same time. Worse case scenario, try a towel, or sheet, for a plain, solid color backdrop. Just a thought.
My NYS&W RS-1 will be done soon, then will be available for sale. Waiting for Walthers to send my steam generator exhaust stack, with fairing. Will pop a couple of shots, when it's finished. (an eBay seller sent it instead of a RS-2.) Nice models though, "Dub". :-D

Golden arm, those pics were kinda just quick shots of them. Nothing fancy. I do have a light box that I'll use to take more shots once I get the motivation to finish them. I have a tunnel motor that needs alot of work, but I may just end up buying the new athearn releases.

When I get the decals for the sd70's i'll use those on my prototype SD80Mac. Im hoping to get another one maybe 3 more eventually to have a total of 4 to run maybe a futuer stack setup.

As for that 3636, what plow did you use? I like the weathering on the short hood, looks identical to the real f45.

You don't need a light box, we just don't want to see your kitchen chairs in the background of your otherwise fine models.

Here's the story of my 3636. I purchased it on ebay that was a decent model. I did the roof design, winterization hatch, accurate horns, ditch lights and hood weathering. Now my engine is wrecked and pending new paint and decals if it still runs. Its a mess right now.

i took Stewart ALCO 630's and heavily modified them. A real pain to do. They are not 100% correct but pretty close. Ill post some pics as soon as i take some.
