Hi
It is not often that I post here on .trains but I certainly lurk around!
However, I would like to reveal my attempt at the Canadian Pacific Alco FA-1,
ca. 1969. There is a lot of artistic licence involved in the build and I am
sure it could be a little higher - if only I had the Santa Fe I could compare
them! But it was fun and I now know that I really need more of the dark red
bricks...especially if I am to build any carriages. I thought I could cheat a
little and buy the Santa Fe carriages and “repaint” them with yellow and dark
red bricks.
If anyone has any ideas for the carriages and the “undercarriage” of my existing
locomotive I would like to hear your ideas.
Thanks
Chris
