N&W H-16-44's

These are the old Bachmann ones. Not a bad model, really. Detail's a little crude in spots, but overall scaled correctly and captures the look of the prototype. Don't run half bad either.




So... funny story about these engines... my dad was selling them on HO Yard Sale. Somebody said they wanted to buy them, and then asked if my dad could weather them before he sent them out. So they got handed down the production line to me, and while he did a tune up on the grease-caked motors, I had some fun with weathering powders and a little yellow paint for the handrails.

I remember seeing those run on the Zanesville line north out of Coshocton. They were so dirty most of the time they looked like they were brown.
