F-UnitMad Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm finding myself "liking" pictures of Alcos The Soo Line had some, at one time, but by my Era of interest, was a 'vanilla' Road - all one flavour; EMD!!

JAMO Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Despite what some people think I think, that is all that matters, at the end of the day. Yes, that's right. I'm not a rivet counter and I don't look for extra details. I can recognize well detailed brass models. I think it's a set: locomotives, wagons, scenery... For a layout I like to create an atmosphere. All must be featured at the same level of detail. Details are important but I think weathering is more important (excellent slow running too). And the low price of the Atlas, Weaver... products is very attractive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talltim Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yeah, you can't take it apart and build something else with the pieces nowadays... Edit: sentences usually make more sense if they contain verbs. Not true. How do you think he designed the set, or I built an Alco, for example?

mikjd Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 One of my O scale Alco's - The very hard to find Atlas C424/C425. I'm not sure what happened to the handbrake chain ...... It just needs the numbers and letters removing, to enter service with the Cincinnati Belt & Terminal (tag line: We go round the middle - Not the outside). ......Or could it end up in PC black ?!

Zomboid Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Never mind that - I've just "liked" yet another Alco!! Help!! Nurse..!!! There's no point even trying to resist. Much like my ongoing attempts to resist buying a pair of F units that won't fit on my layout, or any other layout that I have space to build will ultimately prove futile.
