Here are the ex-CB&Q F3's I have been working on and aside from weathering , they are ready to go to work. The ACTRR left the steam generators in place for the CEO's private car. Being passenger loco's when purchased the existing paint was pretty good so a full repaint was not in the budget (we have a mean CEO [;)]). I have added some detail but not hog wild. Wipers , shades , liftrings, and brake hoses. No grabs as these will see lots of handling .

Thanks , Mike

Very nice....

  Well Mike they look pretty sweet. Seems almost a shame to weather them. They're Kato's right?

Yes they are Kato. I am going to start with Chalks and then the bottoms and trucks with the air brush.

Thanks Jacko

The ACT RR

Mike,

I know how to pronounce Albuquerque and Tijeras (Ti-hair-us), but tell me how to pronounce Carnuel (Car-new-ell?).  I used to see the F3's when I was sentenced to go to Galesburg, Illinois, to my aunt's.

Nice looking engines
Nice looking engines Mike.  Our CEO's must have gone to the same business school.  If it ain't too bad, let's just re-letter it.
