Comparing the model to the prototype
Author: CNW

Photo 1:  In May of 1977, I took the this photo of C&NW train 482 in the yard at Waseca, Minnesota.

Photo 2:  I staged the model photo on my HO layout.  The Alcos were built using Stewart shells and Kato/Atlas drives.

The real CNW had a better year with their weed spraying than you did.
You can be very proud of your whole scene.

Once again you won the internet today. Beautiful! And I don't even like diesels.

Tremendous modeling!  I love how you also show where the road grime gets polished off the sides of the hood and up the grab irons where train crews' clothing rubs against the loco.

Hardly ever see that modeled and it's nicely done.

Good work

Norm
