Model Railroading > IC #6130 on the propertyDate: 09/21/17 13:31 IC #6130 on the property Author: bodkin6071 My HO scale Athearn RTR SD40-2 #6130 arrived today. Immediately coupled it up to my dummy MRL SDP40 #290 and train.
Picture I took of the real #6130 in June 2007. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/21/17 13:31 by bodkin6071.    Date: 09/21/17 13:36 Re: IC #6130 on the property Author: bodkin6071 1. Another pic of the #6130 I took, in April 2007.
2. The #6130 just after the IC bought it, January 1992. A close match to the model, however. Only difference is the Leslie S-3K horn, no ditchlights, and no rooftop air conditioner....   Date: 09/21/17 13:41 Re: IC #6130 on the property Author: bodkin6071 #1-3. More pix of the model.
One thing I have noticed running it, only the rear lights will function, when in reverse. The front and ditch lights won't illuminate at all, in forward.    Date: 09/21/17 14:20 Re: IC #6130 on the property Author: icancmp193 Soooo black and lustrous....needs weathering.
TJY Date: 09/21/17 15:12 Re: IC #6130 on the property Author: bodkin6071 It most certainly does.
Another idea, maybe down the road I can get a BN SD40-2, and "patch" it like IC did when they first acquired these units. icancmp193 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Soooo black and lustrous....needs weathering. > > TJY Edited 1 time(s).
