2 Of My New CNW C44-9W's

[TruckLover]

Hey guys, here are some first shots of 2 of my new CNW C44-9W's that I got today.

They are Athearn BB kits so they still have to be put together but here is some pictures of them on the counter. One is Powered (bottom #8606) and was $24.88 and one is a dummy (top #8627) and was $15.00. Now to go put em together, post some more pics later with them in action.

Still have another Powered and Dummy CNW C44-9W on the way too.

Josh, that sounds like a very good deal. Even though I am a fan of first generation diesels, I really like your new engines. They will look great on front of a loooonng freight train.

Thanks guys, so far, these aren't to bad as far as assembling goes, hope it is like that the whole way. Im sure I will be quite familiar with the parts and howthey fit together after I am done with all 5 locos.

Looks sweet:thumb: I have two powered units myself that I put Lenz decoders and LED headlights in and couldn't be happier with them---save for one thing, those blasted break...er...brake details---they're just too fragile and I'm looking for brass replacements.

WOW Shaygetz, that was an AWSOME mixed train. My favorites were the begining flats with all the construction machinery and the end with all the trailer flats.

Great Train:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Bare with me guys, it took a little longer than I expected, ok an hour and a half longer and I only built one of them so far. The next one should go faster cause now I know how they go together. I still have to paint the handrails CNW green too.

Stay tuned for a UP/CNW double stack container car train!!

I have the exact same 2 CNW units! :thumb:
Awesome video Shaygetz! :thumb:

 

[COMBAT]

Where are the announce1 PICTURES!!!!!!!! :curse: :curse: lol

 

[TruckLover]

Ok, just took them, now to run them through photoshop. WOW the suspense builds!!

 

[TruckLover]

Ok, here they are.

Starts off with a CNW Dash 9 followed by a UP AC4400 and a 9 unit double stck train. Enjoy. Now to go build that powered CNW Dash 9. Will post another train when I get powered one done.

Thanks, it makes me nervous to sometimes and I never leave the train on the outside track unless I am taking pictures of the train. I had to maximize the avialable space and the outside track serves as a photography track

My little sister is also not aloud in my room because of some obvious reasons, one of which is that little kids are curious. My little sister and a $350.00 train on the edge of the table just don't mixsign1

Haha! I hear what your saying man.
