Superior & Seattle Railroad Build

[S&S RR]

The Superior & Seattle Railroad took delivery today of two more locomotives.  They were acquired new from the GN Railroad and will support GN paint schemes and numbers for the foreseeable future. GN number 2870 and 2878 S2 4-8-4's were added to  the rooster. Number 2579 is shown here on the Mt. Aiden Trestle.  These are the new BLI Hybrid releases.

I tell you John, you are making very rapid progress on your railroad.  It's a fine example of the art.  Love the loco on the trestle.  She's a real beauty!

Thanks for the kind words and stopping by the thread.  I'm having a great time working on this layout.

Great looking loci and trestle.  Tried to convince myself I could use one, as a GN 'loaner' to the CB&Q, but I have enough 4-8-4s for fast freights already.

John,

That BLI GN 4-8-4 is a real beauty. How does it run and sound?

I weathered a BLI Reading T1 4-8-4 for Bob and his runs and sound great.

Thanks for stopping buy the thread - if these engines run as good as the look I will be very happy I added a couple more to the rooster.

I will answer that question as soon as I get my DCC system back up and running.  I took it down to make some changes to the control panel - I'm getting ready to add the power districts for the upper levels. Stay tuned I will let you know.

Today, I finished the scenery work behind the new trestle and glued the first three bents in place.  This is going to be an interesting build lying on my side on the little bridge I made to get site for this trestle.

And here are a couple progress photographs of the Chippy Hollow Build. The roof is going on the stone building.

It is amazing how steam locomotives just look better with dirt on them.

I started adding the cross braces on the trestle today. I may need to cut more strip wood to get this one finished.

[S&S RR]

The warehouse project is also rolling along - I started painting the first of 5 front wall castings.

[S&S RR]

I also made some progress on the Chippy Hollow build - added the shingles to the stone building.  Next step is lots of roof detail casings.

Juhn,

The high trestle, the warehouse and Chippy's! It just can't get any better than that! Love it all.
