An overhead view of Norfolk Southern Dash 9-40CW NS 9558, as it sits in the siding at the mill, just west of RS interlocking on Canadian Pacific (ex-Soo/Milwaukee Road) trackage, somewhere in the mid-west of the USA. Despite none of these locomotives being added to the roster in nearly five years, the Dash 9 is still the archetypical Norfolk Southern loco.
The model is the work of Chris Ibbotson and is an extensive rebuild of an Athearn Dash 9. The picture was taken on RS Tower (rstower.wordpress.com) at the Andover Model Railway Exhibition on September 7th, 2008.

Here are a few older HO scale brass models of articulated steam locomotives. I am not a great photographer, but, I do the best I can with what I have. All photos are of different models, even though you may see several of the same type of engine in this set. Akane Models - Southern Pacific AC-11/12 4-8-8-2 Imported by IMP around 1957. (Simple Articulated)
Some photos of a few models I got today. All in great shape, just some lube and cleaning because they have been sitting for a while in their boxes.
This is a model that I started a few years ago, then it got put on the back burner for a while. I plan to complete the model soon. It started as an early Akane SP AC-11/12, I am converting it to an earlier type AC-6. Here the boiler is set onto the frame to get an idea of what the finished model will look like.

I have just started restoring this Akane C&O 2-6-6-6 for my friend Sean. This is a series of photos showing how it was received (in parts), going through drive modifications and finally, paint and reassembly - This video show the engine running to check movement and clearance of all the parts. It did well in the test, once everything is good, it all has to be disassembled in order to paint the model.

I bought this model yesterday, I have other versions of this type of gas turbine engine, but, have always liked these engines. These are the seller's photos from the sale listing. I plan to re-power the model at some point since they are not great running models from the maker.
Parked near a water tower, this large scale model of a Copper Range caboose caught my eye. Hudson, WI, September 18, 2015.

O grabbed some shots of the WECX 800 as it made a few runs through Columbia back in 2013 and 2014 between Charleston and the nuclear statin that was then under construction near Jenkinsville, South Carolina. WECX 800 is a heavy deuty rail car designed for the heaviest of the heavy loads to be delivered by North American railroads. It is called a Schnabel car. It is designed to carry heavy and oversized loads in such a way that the load makes up part of the car. The load is suspended between the two ends of the cars by lifting arms; the lifting arms are connected to an assembly of span bolsters that distribute the weight of the load and the lifting arm
The two largest Schnabel cars in operation are owned and operated by by Kasgro Railcar for Westinghouse Nuclear and are used in North America primarily to transport reactor containment vessels.
This car, WECX 800, has 36 axles. Each half of the car contains nine trucks which are connected by a complex system of span bolsters.over a large number of wheels.
The word Schnabel is from German Tragschnabelwagen, meaning "carrying-beak-wagon", because of the usually tapered shape of the lifting arms, resembling a bird's beak.
KRL 078 is one of two cabooses sandwiching the big rail car.

After diss-assembly, the parts are placed in a tub and covered with paint remover, then rinsed to remove all of the original paint and clear coat. They are then placed in a 50/50 mix of hydrochloric acid and water. This removes the remaining film and corrosion. The parts are soaked in cold water after the acid dip, then rinsed again and allowed to air dry. After polishing the parts with a Dremel tool with a wire wheel bit, the parts are primed and painted with Floquil railroad colors. The photos of the painted parts show the paint prior to the green being applied to the top of the hood and decal work.
