Skipping SNFF with the hope of not ending up buried in a pile of unrelated stuff - at home for a few days celebrating a new arrival...
Work Around No. 1 was posted awhile back with the question "What CSX decals are the right size for this model" - working on a hunch I bought the "CSX Transportation Diesels 1990+" at the recent Atlanta train show and the hood decals are much better scaled.
So - 5509, 5530, 5580 are now added to 5539 and 5564
First - 5509 with its stripes. bought the BC Rail engines as chassis and didn't realize they came with shells - they'll probably become 5800 units.

5530

5580

Atlas makes 5562 and another road that escapes me. I had a little fun way back modifying the paint job:
5539

5564 (needs to renumber the cab)

Next: the 5800s - there will be 5...just gotta find the chasis

These are some of my fav CSX locomotives from Florida 2003-2007 (college, when I really started taking photos). anyone else have pictures to share?
