A great variety of diesels in a multitude of sizes, schemes and colours since I last checked in.
Andy, welcome to the forum and thanks for posting in the thread. In fact, one of my favourite colours schemes for a diesel happens to be black...they look great when weathered nicely as your photo illustrates. [:-thumbu][:-thumbu]

Thanks to everyone else for the great shots. Keep them coming!

All the best, Mike Hamer

Actually two of them are blue, but that's the way they're supposed to look on the N&W - you can't tell which is which without some bright sun and a rag to wipe the dirt off [:-cowboy]

This is probably one of the better pics I have of a Diesel in use on my mostly unscenicked layout.



A BN, Atlas MP 15-DC, pulling an Atlas cylicdyical covered hopper. A CSX MP-15DC in the background and an undecorated, BLI Switcher to the right.

Hi Andy, Thanks for the "heads up". I had to look closely and I then detected the blue. I really like the weathering job you did on the units.

Mike, that's a great close-up of the BN diesel. Nice looking layout too! [:-thumbu][:-thumbu]

I don't think I ever posted these to this forum before, these are some pictures of my Athearn Wabash F7's at the Strongsville OH Club Layout.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

Here is an MDC/Roundhouse AGEIR Boxcab that I recently detailed and remotored for my Wyoming Valley. It is posing on a diorama.
