Filmed 01/28/17 Well, I had intended to have another HO ops video today, but I just didn't have the time to edit a big one together this passed week. So this week we get the return of the Remix series. It's been a couple months since the last one, so I thought it was time for another. In today's video, my custom built/kitbashed SD30s are leading a manifest. The leader is my SD30T-3, the second is an SD30-3. The third unit is a KATO SD45. I model the Rio Grande as it it's still around, so the SD45 has been rebuilt as an SD40M-2. The two 30's were once Dash 2 units as well, but have been updated to current Dash 3 specs. I built them years ago out of Bachmann GP30 shells and an Athearn blue box SD40T-2 cooling section. The Tunnel Motor rides on an Athearn SD40-2 chassis, while the '30-3 is on a KATO SD40 chassis. I've had a few requests lately to see these units in action, and I thought this would be a good video for it. Now, sorry to be the party pooper, but these two are not for sale. In fact when I can, I'm stripping the paint off and will repaint them as Kansas City Eastern units. Also I've had some inquiries into me building more. Again, I have to decline. These are time consuming builds and I barely have time to do my own stuff. If you want to see how they will look in the KCE scheme, hop over to my Facebook page linked below and I'll have pics there. Today I'm participating in another ops session over at Jon Percy's N scale Buffalo and Pittsburgh layout, so I'll have a video from there in the near future, and then next Sunday I should have the HO ops up. That's it for now, see you all later.
