Preserving the SP in HO scale: Alcos & 7805 East
Author: P5r24

As promised in my previous thread,

In this series we step back to 1967 as
the S.P. 7805 east prepares to leave town
in charge of a mixed manifest freight
with some headend Reefer business.

Back then, it was not un-common for the Espee to
make-up motive power consists with whatever
units were next out on the Engine ready tracks
and the 7805 east is no exception.

Another set of power having Alco products is preparing
to cross over at Mainline tower and hook up to their westbound train.
L&N 1405 C628, a pooled unit in from the southern states, will be on the point!

We'll have to chase this one!

The first Cab is a brass Balboa model I painted up
years ago while the last Cab is a blue box Athearn
I spruced up some and applied the orange to the bays.

And Thanks to everyone!
