LGB steeplecab locomotives

Hm so if you have not swopped the pans this will be the former green one?

Nice job again, good to see you are keeping a house colour for your line. Something a lot are not brave enough to do, being too concerned with resale value. In my mind your repaints and brass details have added value. But of course needs to be done well as you have.

Not quite Jon,
The green one is as yet untouched. I don’t think that will last like that for too much longer as it’s next in line for the works. I’m not sure about repainting this one yet, it’s been allocated the #6, and it might end up as a heritage locomotive to celebrate an anniversary for the line.
TBH resale values don’t bother me too much, I think these will hold their value as you say. I’ve never really gone along with prototypical railways, always preferring the believable but totally fictitious way of doing things. To me, a model railway has to have a history and a reason to be there. It can be based on an area, as mine is, and loosely based on a real railway or combination of railways. The location of mine is in New York State and is a unique (to the line) branch of the Shortline Mohawk Valley Railroad, which ran from Syracuse to Troy on the opposite side of the river to the current Amtrak line. The exact location I haven’t decided yet, but I must have a very fertile imagination…
Cheers

My steeplecab will be converted to a still existing steeplecab at Düsseldorf Linie D, tram museum. Later I will change the orange E1 motor and digital equiment into my Düsseldorf tram loco 100.

Brilliant, I like the work worn look of the blue steeplecab. What are you going to do with the remains when you have removed the motor block? If it’s surplus, I’ll gladly take it off your hands
cheers
