We need an NW-2 thread, with photos

Now I know how to finish my orange SW1. Thanks for the link.

And they just keep coming. Nice looking SCL version:





Dual-drive with helical gears. I have not gone online to verify accuracy to prototype.

Two photos, same thing, 231 built 1949 as JAX Terminal #33 S/N 8703

I have yet to find a Seaboard/Family Lines NW2 painted in that scheme. LOTS of Alco, GE and EMD road engines, but no NW2's yet. Still looking.
Never know what a museum did in 2018.

[ScaleCraft]

Switcher, anyway.

I am sure there is somebody out there in Railroadland that has a Family Lines roster. For every niche, a nut.

Bob T. sent me this photo to post, which I will gladly oblige:



Oo-la-wee --That's a nice paint job.

A photograph of a neat prototype, Pickering Lumber #101 (a SW900) with caboose #2, was recently uploaded to RP: Railpictures 735014

There are a bunch of the these in Stouts current auction. Oriental, Car Works, others.

Here is a unit nicely painted in an unidentified home-road scheme:



I actually own this one and a pair of critters in the same scheme. I actually like the scheme and have considered lettering for some fictional industrial line and keeping it and its cousins. But I have too many projects already and am trying to not let the models I own dictate my interests, if you know what I mean.

I'm getting down to the end of my NW-2 photo collection. Here is one that my brother Pete owns:





I believe that this was a project for Pete many years ago -- maybe one of his first in two-rail O scale? I find that one of the hardest things to do in the modeling world is to revisit a model that you have already completed. So kudos to Pete for coming back to this one and adding a few choice details:



I can't tell if the graininess in the photo is weathering or an artifact of the digital image. How many changes can you spot? I have found eight -- no, nine -- so far.

And here is the original version of the last photo:



Maybe that is weathering?

Jim, I really like the curtain over the radiator.

Ed,

You ever get any photos of the cow & calf I gave your dad? They came from Lou.

Jay,
I just took a look and it appears that I do not have a picture of it. I'll have to do that and post it here.
