I'm working on one of these as well. 9067. I saw a pic of it a few years ago and it's kind of a rust bucket now. Keep it up man I can't wait to see this one finished!

Very nice looking model. One thing though,the trucks are silver and not black. I worked on these units in Alliance Nebraska.

Ok thanks for the info. The ones I see around here on the NS appear to be black, but may be theyre just really dirty?? I just plan on making it look like the prototype...

The trucks are really dirty so you could start by painting the trucks a black maybe mixed with a dark brown color. Then maybe a wash of dirty brown the spray a light coat of dust over that and that should be close to the look your after. I might also use that wash on the walkway down too.
This is going to be a nice project also. Good luck.

Awesome stuff! I sure do miss the original Oakways though! When it comes time, can you shoot some pictures on how your goin to wire up your LEDs? Im thinking bout doing the same thing with mine, just trying to figure out the best/easiest way!

That looks great. I've been meaning to try the LED's as well but with everything being packed up for our move, it's gonna be a while. Share your method though!

Great Idea! Those do look good and I think I might even have some left over... Itll be a few weeks before I can get the decoder, but ill be sure to take some pictures of the wiring!
