Plumbum Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I will start this sometime this week. It's an un powered and un decorated HO scale diesel electric road switcher, made by Athearn. I have purchased decals for it for an all blue scheme of Boston and Maine Railroad from the late 70s-early 80s, unit # 1825. I built one a year or so ago, GP35 of Penn Central. This one has already had some parts added, horn, light, trucks, couplers and tanks on trucks. I added the side plates and puttied and sanded a few sink marks. It also came with laser cut windows, should be interesting. I was infatuated with these as I lived about a mile from a railroad junction as a boy and use to ride my bicycle down and watch the switchers in the yard working. My grandfather had retired a few years earlier from NYC RR. I saw the blue trains when we went for rides as a young boy along the Mowhawk Trail on Rte 2 in Massachusetts. There were blue box cars stretching for miles on the tracks next to Rte 2, seemed to go on forever to me. So here is what I am starting with.---John 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
