Jez Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 2 new locos arrived in the post today - resprayed and detailed by John Bezuyen of Southern Tier Modelworks. Following the RailAmerica theme, here are Rail-Link GP35s 2210 and 2211: The 2 new locos sit with my original RailAmerica 5005. I asked John to fade the paintwork on these to represent locos that have been work-stained and sun-bleached. I think he has done an excellent job. Fuel tanks and trucks need to go through the weathering process when I get time. Comparison of fresh and faded paintwork. There are a few subtle differences between 5005 and 2010/2211, including the RailAmerica lettering size and the winterization covers. Closer view of RLK 2210 RLK 2211 waits for its first assignment. It wasn't long before both locos were put into service: 2211's first job was to switch the Plastics factory. Whilst 2210 ran to the yard to collect a refer for the Team-Track.

DaveB Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'm really looking forward to seeing this layout in the flesh at TVNAM. You have set a very high standard Richard. DaveB of Hoxie Harbor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 You're getting closer to the True Faith with that CP Rail loco in the background.... just one step away from the Soo.... Only kidding... very nice locos and the fade is subtle - but very noticeable in that comparison shot!! It does make that bright blue Reefer cry out for some fading, too!!! (says he, who really ought to be weathering some of his own stock.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridwatcher Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Looking great! Just need to get weathering those hoppers and box vans........on my last trip over the un-tagged ones were the rarity.

Jez Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 'You're getting closer to the True Faith with that CP Rail loco in the background.... just one step away from the Soo.... ' Jordan - Nooooooooooo! I won't be turned over to the dark side..........I must resist!!! Does look a little Canadianised (If that's a word!!) I'll be mixing the ex UP locos in with the RailAmerica liveries. Not sure if anyone has spotted it though - Ex UP locos with roof mounted Air Conditioners running with RailAmerica locos sporting winterization fan hatches!! I also agree, the stock and locos do need to be weathered, graffited and faded to some degree - problem is finding the time. I will get around to it eventually. Here are a couple more piccies to whet your appetites ready for TVNAM next month: 2211 Switching Tank Cars. 2211 Switching a box car for the Team-Track. 2211 (again!) collecting a box car from the Trans-load building.

F-UnitMad Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Here are a couple more piccies to whet your appetites ready for TVNAM next month: NOT FAIR !!! I don't think I should bring a layout, after all ... there's far too much excellent stuff like this I want to see instead.... I also agree, the stock and locos do need to be weathered, graffited and faded to some degree - problem is finding the time. I will get around to it eventually... I find I need to be in the right mood to do weathering... "Last Minute Panic" usually... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonte Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hi Jez, Just for your info......please take a look at my reply to your earlier posting in my 'American HO layout' topic elsewhere in this section. Best wishes, Jonte Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridwatcher Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi Chaps. Just to let you know that Richard (Jez) and I 'did the deal' on Sunday in the sunshine and Harrington is yet another US HO layout that has migrated north of the border. I am delighted with my purchase and some minor exhibition friendly tweaks are planned, curtains, legs, lighting rig etc etc. Have about 20x too much stock and still working out how the SD90MAC will justify rumbling in for fuelling but hey ho!! If anyone is keen to have us come to a show please PM me. I am 'free' as they say!! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a Skoda Superb Estate you don't need to. I would suggest there are very few cars it will fit in!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gridwatcher Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 HARRINGTON makes its long overdue Scottish debut at St Andrews on 10th 11th August. Now with legs, lights, signage, curtain etc etc. Some mods to DCC wiring for increased reliability. Running Canadian and NW USA area outline. Hope to see some of you there?
