Hello All,
I just completed 2 new MOC's for BricksWest; a Union Pacific SW9 with calf
and the San Diego Coaster that was designed by James Mathis.

I made the UP decals using PhotoShop and clear label stock. I'm not terribly
happy with them yet, so I will probably change them soon.

The SD Coaster is actually blue, white, and teal as James illustrated with
his CAD file but I changed it to blue, white and grey for obvious reasons.

Comments, questions and criticisms are always welcome.

Regards,
Robert Powell

Cool switcher set. You packed alot of detail into it, especially for a 6-wide. I like the stairs at the ends best. Cool. -Stefan- (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)

Both sets are great! I can't wait to play at Brickswest. Maybe I can get a bi-level and engine built that match these and we'll gang them up for a long train! SteveB (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)

Very cool Robert. The SW9 and calf are awesome and SD Coaster looks sweet too. B. (22 years ago, 6-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)

Your SW9 MOC is amazing, even beating out many 8 wide designs in the same category. Many moons ago, I built a similar cow-and-calf design (solid red of course, as that was the only color I had in quantity) But armour yellow looks best on these (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)
