Hiyas,
I can't make it to the upcoming meeting, but I still have trains on the
brains, so I made this today:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=8086
This is based on a Milwaukee Road Fairbanks-Morse H16-44 in a book that
Ondrew gave me for rolling stock reference pics. Thanks again Ondrew, this
catalog is really nice for detail work, btw! Like the topic says, this is
the first Train MOC I have ever made. I had a small HO layout when I was a
kid, and now that there is a somewhat local Train Club in the area, my fond
rail memories are returning.
I feel like I did a pretty accurate job, but I am open to any critisizm if I
goofed on something. I normally don't model from life, so this was a fun
change of pace from space stuff.
cheers!
Joel Kuester

I did this on the 2nd version of my SD-90 and you can compare to the (...) (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc)
