Won off Ebay. I think htf. Had box and handrails but missing 20 stanchions, no problem. Must have been handled by someone wearing gloves.

Ray is that one you painted ? I never liked Conrail until they were a fallen flag railroad.I enjoy seeing them now.I always thought a Conrail unit coupled to a Chessie System locomotive made a great photo. We call their engines Clownrail on CSX.

Nice locomotives AlcoFan. Lots of color in that photo. What is the WM hopper in the background? I have one that looks similar and is a older Roundhouse kit.

Here`s a Walthers SW-1 from the first run back in the early 90`s. When they first came out with these they had a few problems with the drive system. They later offered a free kit to replace the drive shafts that would correct this. I saw one run once before the new kit was installed and it would wobble so bad it would derails itself.
Dont know why the image wont display because its not very big. Anyways if you want to see the pic just check the link.

Yes I repainted a Tyco C430 in Pennsy and PC so I figured I may as well do one in Conrail colors.
Here are a couple of photos of them.
