Daryl - love the reviews. I too love the faded flat look on the ex SP loco. I actually have the Athearn Roundhouse version they did several years ago and it too had that flat finish. Funnily enough, also picked up a CNW loco as well and got it patched - nice splash of color to break up the armor yellow and harbor mist grey. Always wondered how you did your speed matching - thanks for including that. Keep up the great work!!

Another great show Daryl! It's always fun to see what you've been up to this week. I'm a diehard SP fan, so in my world the SP took over the UP. So I've got 3 UP locos that are going to be patched to SP. Just to be different. Besides, I really like the modeling choices when weathering SP equipment - go light, go dirty, anything in between - it works. Nothing wrong with clean, mind you! But is there another RR that had the likes of "SP Grime"? Highball the Rollby - Ghost of the SP

When I went train watching in the 80s in TX SP units were always extremely dirty.

Nice Locomotives Daryl!!! I used to pass by the ex SP line that UP took over on my way down to Laredo Texas, back in 2015 Corsicana Texas received 19 inches of rain washing out the roadbed on that line causing a derailment that left both UP units on their side, that was a sight for sure, that line parallels 31 out of Corsicana, I think at one time it was the SSW from Texas to Missouri if I'm not mistaken!!!! There is a cool diamond there too that crosses BNSF!!!!

@EvanstonSub 3 ай бұрын

SSW also known as the Cotton Belt

@@EvanstonSub Yes, that was SPs access to Missouri thru Corsicana, Trinity and beyond, Corsicana TX is an excellent place for railfanning!!!!

If you have ever heard of the CNW twins they are 2 dash 9s that survived unpatched and unpainted thru December 2017. One is 8701 i dont remember the other number.

@EvanstonSub 3 ай бұрын

Yep, they are both repainted now.

@EvanstonSub those would be good unit for your layout as rare power. Scaletrains plans to make those units in a future dash 9 run.

@WorldOfNothin 3 ай бұрын

I want to say I've seen video of the UP 6718 in CNW colors as late as early 2018, so I would say it got repaint that year. So about a year earlier then Big Boy's first run.

Are you using tsunami 2 decoders from Athearn together with the ESU Loksound 5 from ScaleTrains or do you change one of them?

@EvanstonSub 3 ай бұрын

I use them together. I migh someday change them all over to ESU.

A very prototypical look as S.P. weathered with time. Typical U.P. care, passed by a U.P. yard once, and thought there was CSX unit there. Turned out to be a U.P. unit, so dirty it was gray looking.

Model railroad time frame "elastic license." Lots of locomotives change up operating sessions, more realism.

@chriswisbey5388 3 ай бұрын

Hi Daryl. Were you saying "Patching" or "Matching"? and what do they mean? Chris Walsall UK

@tomschmidt3165 3 ай бұрын

Patching refers to a new owner temporarily renumbering/lettering of a loco recently purchased from the former railroad. Matching refers to speed matching the model locos so that they will operate smoothly together without bucking back and forth.
