Model Railroading > HB&T MP15DC

Hey everyone, been awhile since I have had anything to post....No completed pics but I do have some in progress pictures of an Atlas MP15DC I am working on that will represent the Houston Belt & Terminal as they were in the mid 1980's

Radiator Fan Modification
​Picture #1 - I used a piece of .010 styrene to cover the molded on shutters
​Picture #2 - Drilled out the center and used a Plano 48" fan and .005 styrene for the center disk
Picture #3 - I used strip styrene for the new shutters and then placed the screen back on the front 


Thanks for looking,
Scott

Looks great!

awesome job what kind of primer did you use

The front grill especially looks awesome!

Ph man, thats going to be sweet!

Thanks everyone!

​Dilworth - You will laugh but I use Rust-Oleum High Performance Enamel #7515 Aluminum out of a rattle can as a primer before I air brush it with Tru-Color TCP-096 VIA Yellow which is a very good match for the HB&T yellow.

What decals are you going to use? I'm trying to get them made for the black scheme as shown in this diagram I got thru the NMRA.

My bad; you're doing an MP15; they were delivered in the solid yellow.

If there are any others interested in the older HB&T Alco, SW1200 or SW1500, please let Hubert Mask know at http://maskislanddecals.com/home.html know.

Man, that thing looks great!

Brian - Yes, the solid yellow but I would be interested in doing one of the HB&T switchers in that scheme, if you get those decals done I would for sure get a set.
(I also sent an email to Hubert)

​Jeff - Thank you, very much appreciated!
