Gentlemen, I finally got some time to upload some photos of the three
projects I've been talking about on this group. They are in my photo
folder under PhotoTraxx.
The UP caboose has been setting on my caboose track for several years
along with it's yellow brothers. However, because it was never lettered
and painted the wrong shade of BC red it didn't get used.
The combine had been running on the layout lettered on one side only for
the NYC, so that had to change. LBR made up some of the decals that I used.
Next is my UP Gp-30 B unit. I'm pretty pleased with the end results.
My GP-30 A unit didn't make the photo session and the fuel tank on the B
unit hasn't been attached yet. I'm talking with Jim Hinds at Richmond
Controls about trying to design some LED's that are smaller than the
typical 3mm type. Obviously the surface mounted units will be used, but
without some way of easily mounting them in a headlight opening--the
process is painful to do. The two engines have a total of 8 sockets of
which 7 need LED's. It appears that the 'brow' on the top of the A unit
is a solid brass casting that also covers the backside of the headlight
casting. I don't intend to try and drill two holes to fish those fine
wires into at this time.
