Love that scheme!

My LOTW offering is this N-Scale Arnold all-red Deutsche-Bahn (DB) Class 218 diesel loco.

Nice variety this week. Those Popsicles are certainly arresting. Before the UP buyout, we used to see
a lot of these Bloody Noses in El Paso. This sturdy old Athearn BB is just a great workhorse, even
without the handrails. I paid $15 for it at 2019's Albuquerque Train Show, and it just does the job
without a hiccup. I enjoyed running it this weekend.

Here's my Cary bodied FT I built back in the 1980's

It uses two powered Athearn chassis with super weights.
Finished in my old Spare Time Lines colors, including hand striping.
This machine still runs and has unbelievable pulling power.

Yeah, Tyco made 2 different types of switchers for the GI Joe sets. The first one was a typical Plymouth diesel switcher, while in later sets, they substituted an AHM-looking switcher, which busss has.
