There was a difference in the purple and silver scheme as applied to the ACL E8s versus earlier E-units.  I’m not saying that Life-Like unit is correct, but the prototype lines did not lineup perfectly, either, as evidenced by this E8A and E6/7B.


Oh yes, this helps! I will perhaps not running them back to back, but side by side they can be peaceful neighbors

Will the ladies be finding you handy?

Yeah, and I got slapped real good for it.

Sciotoville Railroad Bridge: https://historicbridges.org/bridges/browser/?bridgebrowser=ohio/sciotoville/

Mark Bandy printed parts and assembled, I think down to the rivet.  He had it taken apart and carried out to his car before I got four 3-foot modules down.  The bridge lifts off in two large pieces with a small connecting piece in the center.  The base units nest.  Even the paddlewheel is a work of art. 

Best part of it is the electronics underneath...  very tidy and neat.... 
track is all hand laid on strips of copper.  Guard rails as well...   100% pick electric pick up on all the rails... complete length of the bridge.

oh yeah... not to be overlooked... it is MSS detectable for signals...  which BANTRAK FreeMoN is now dabbling in... and we only smelled Blue Smoke once

Seriously though... Mark is a great guy and deserves all the praise for this battleship of a module.... it is just amazing.

Stand by for Altoona hopefully.

I`m a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess

Better late than never.  Another trio of well cars finished and weathered.  40' Thrall stand alone, printed body and trucks, GMM walkways, FVM wheels and MT couplers.  Microscale decals and Dave's graffiti.
