One thing always leads to another and in model railroading, one project lways leads to another...and another....
After I got the Tyco Santa Fe passenger set, I wasn't satisfied with the running and look of the Tyco F9, so I found a beautiful Bachmann F7. Which led to not being satisfied with the coupling distance between the F units, so I had some junk F7Bs laying in a project drawer...hmmm
Inspired by the Super Chief sticker I turned into a billboard, I got some Warbonnet decals, painted the F7Bs (a dummy Globe and old Athearn) and so now...finally I think....the Super Chief is ready to roll...

Too bad in my case those projects rarely ever get finished.
Great job on the B-units. I never would have guessed they weren't a factory paint job had you not said anything.

It's funny how my interests have grown - a couple years ago I wasn't even thinking ATSF or Super Chief, now I'm all over it. It has some fascinating history. Would like to get a pair of Alco PA diesels for it someday.

| Looks great, nice decal work, it goes perfectly with the bachmann unit and the tyco cars! Like the billboard as well, it really completes the scene.
