athearn blue box SDP40 now in basic burlington northern livery awaiting decals , detailing and weathering .......motor mounts were replaced as old mounts had deteriated and crumbled to pieces with age

about at the halfway point with the SDP40 an unremoveable auto paint finnish means results are less than desired quality but hopefully with detailing it will pull round into a more presentable model

the UP SD40-2 is taking shape now awaiting front coupling , plow , hoses ,decals etc

Love the idea of this thread but sadly can't see any of the photographs. Could be slow internet this side.

Looks like they were hosted on Facebook and are no longer available.

Could be, the domain starts "sphoto......", but behaving just the same as Photobucket was last night. Could be our end if the copying across to the updated system is in progress. If so it will be a temporary inconvenience until we switch over to the updated version.
