    CSX, from Bright to Dark

    Thanks. I know Athearn has the MACs without the white roof. I have never seen an "M' with the YN3. Wonder if anyone makes it.

    CSX, from Bright to Dark

    oh yeah, i found another question to replace that 5. Is the Dark Future scheme on those SD70Ms an after factory paint job or were they delivered like that?

    CSX, from Bright to Dark

    Well, I mean, you say they are different shades of blue and yellow. Do you know what they're called or if they're commercially available through model flex or any other manufacturers? Or which one is darker than the other? Thanx

    CSX, from Bright to Dark

    Ive been looking at train paints, like from N Scale supply and other dealers, and have not found a different one for each. I can only find CSX blue. Its really hard to tell because when there is more yellow and gray on the engine, the blue stands out, and it looks darker. But when its a lot of...

    CSX, from Bright to Dark

    oh yeah. sticky summer heat sucks. I just moved to south texas and im beginning to feel it. I used to live in the New Mexico mountains where you had to wear a sweater during the summer nights. I'll pretend my locomotives run up in the mountains somewhere and skip the white roofs. I wish...

    CSX, from Bright to Dark

    thanks. i was just checking cause like for say, the Rio Grande used a yellow, then later used a gold, or a different yellow or orange. Like, it literally had different colors that differed because of company changes, not because of weathering or other things. But if the blue is "suppossed" to be...

    CSX, from Bright to Dark

    I have just aquired six N Scale CSX locomotives. There is one SD50, one Dash8-40C, two Kato SD40-2s, one GP40 and one AC4400CW. I have never modeled nor painted nor stripped a CSX engine, nor am I familiar with the line, since I mostly deal with BNSF, SP and UP. I am not a big fan of this...

    Durango & Silverton Ride

    I agree. I had NEVER been on a train before (unless you count roller coasters), and it was a really cool first time experience (except formy poor lips).

    Durango & Silverton Ride

    Hey, if you find them, please post. I really need to get into the digital camera era. These disposable ones dont do the scenery justice. And yes, you are sooty after riding the open car. Did you go to the museum after the ride?

    Durango & Silverton Ride

    This is kind of how it starts. It goes from a beautiful mountain scenery to actually being in the mountains. There are a few places where the passage is so narrow, that you can actually reach out and touch the rock walls on either side of the train. I will try to find more pictures and scan...
