Hey guys. Now that I can post (because I have a decent computer), the posts of recent builds continue. Here we have an NW C36-7 that started as an Atlas C30-7. Fortunately, their (NWs) early 36-7s did not have the large dynamic box behind the cab. There were only a few modifications made as the C30-7 body is almost identical to the early 36-7s. I removed the nose head light housing and changed the stock Atlas stack. Other than that, it received standard DW detail parts. Attachments:

Ladderpipe;
I am saying this jokingly, but I must ask: How do you get your trains to stay tight up against the wall? Mine keep falling off every time I try imitating it! LOL
Thanks for posting the progress. Looking good!
GT Dan

Hahahahaha. I'm not sure why the pictures are posting sideways because they appear fine on my end. I guess I need to figure that out. LOL.....

Are you taking the pics from a phone (iphone), as it automatically corrects it on the device, but when you download them, you'll see all the orients that are not normal.... ask me how I know...

That's exactly what I used to take the pictures. So here is my question. The iPhone pictures are to "large" to download to the site directly from my phone (and don't have a camera so that's my only option at the moment). What I do is email them to myself where it allows me to reduce the size. As I have said, when I post, they all appear "upright" and not stuck to the wall. Hahahahaha. How do I fix that so you guys don't need to stretch out before looking at the pictures?

Hello ladderpipe; Most of us don't upload the pics directly to this site. We use photobucket www.photobucket.com and open a free account with them, then upload the pics there. One can re-size, rotate and whatever. Then just copy the img file to this forum. The instructions are quite simple and fairly clear at photobucket's site. Have a great day, and hope this helps some, GT Dan |

If all else fails, do a free download at www.paint.net and you can manipulate your photos with their software. You can resize, rotate, and do tons of other stuff. |

Here is your locomotive with the colors enhanced, image rotated, aspect ratio corrected, and hosted by a photo host.  |
