Not my absolute best work, but not too bad...



In 85 some of these were just starting to get their "Conrust"


While others were in much better shape

Nice, Ed! 

I noticed you lost the front coupler trip pin just as I did.  I shattered the horn casting trying in vain to put it back in.  Some ACC and PolyScale D&H Avon Blue (per your suggestion) made all right again.

I still have those two cab signal boxes and will send them to anyone equipped to make castings.

I intentionally removed mine. I really don't like the things.

Paint's not faded enough and there aren't any bare spots.   ;)

Gotta remember, this is Conrail we're talking about.   :P

No kidding!  What's the warranty on that blue paint anyway?   :o
