Not the best picture but I recently had some custom etched because the Atlas signals were way too chunky for me.

We sure live in a golden age of modeling where some individual modeler can design and have professionally manufactured photoetched parts in small quantities no less.

MP54s are coming along

Shell fitted to power mech

Pantographs installed

Cut off the molded on grab iron and installed gold medal model ones.

Now back to PA for my dad to paint them up!

Which mechs are you using Cody? is it possible to stretch them any, they look kinda short..... Post up some pictures! I bet we could come up with a way to make them the right wheelbase.

Pretty much finished the elevator today. As always The detailing never ends, and the camera (phone ) shows what needs touching up. I need to get started on a layout soon!

It sure is! Fleischmann 7440, 7441, 7442, 7443, 7444, 7445, 7446, 7447, 7448, and 7449. I'm running it as a "as built" consist. One of these days I will get the additional 7446s to make the 12 coach.

I also have a Minitrix ICE3, but one of the gear towers failed at the last show, I have since got it fixed. so the next show I am able to attend, I will be running both.
