Model Railroading > Santa Fe RDC

A post on the Nostalgia page prompted me go shoot a new set of photos of my RDCs.  I am also experimenting with my depth of focus set up.
I made these Athaern RDCs about 40+ years ago,  These were about the only ones around.  I repainted them in the "after the wreck" scheme.  It took a weekend to do. I even submitted an article to MR as a weekend project they were running in those days.  They thought there would be no interest.

Nice trestle and scene around it.  Thanks.

Your ATSF RDC's look great to me ! Thanks for sharing your images of them.  --Kelly

I like the job you did on the red ends.  I also had this set many moons ago, and if I recall,  they ran via the awful rubber band drive.  To slow them down, I installed Ernst gearing which really solved the problem....almost too much.

That is what I did for them, also.  A little noisy though.

Nice work

Excellent, never mind Clambake!

Thank you for the posting Dan
