of the axleguards had failed after giving many years of service. I
replaced all 4 at a steamup at Tony Dixon's in Livermore, CA. The
engine behind mine was built by Jon Bloom of Orinda, CA. Double
heading these engines is pretty easy - they only go one direction and at
one speed! When I refurbished this loco, I stripped the majority of the boxcar red paint from it and weathered it with a variety of washes and real dirt. The new look (seen on the first page) is what I was after all along. It took me only 8 years to get there... |
