Model Railroading > Livin' Large - steam to diesel transition era

I love steam and thoroughly enjoy my St L. S-W ten-wheeler #669 but was
kind of envious of guys who can just turn a key an motor down the track so
i found a used gas powered RS3, took the shell to a local hot rod painter and
told him to give it the black widow treatment (gave him an O scale model to
follow) and ordered vinyl stickers from Miracle Graphics which I applied this
past Thursday.  Its nice to have options.

Isn't that pretty much what happened on the real railways?

Not prototype, no "oil slobber" or soot grime on the carbody!!! Doug

Looks great with the stickers applied Shane.

Gorgeous paint job on the RS-3.   Nice job.

I have at least four simultaneous projects in the shop getting ready for train mountain.  No shortage of things to do...
