AA 531 and 572. Atlas 2-bay covered hoppers modified to represent Greenville cars as opposed to the PS model done by Atlas. End and side ladders modified. Lettered with AARRT&HA decal set. |
|
AA 422, 400-series PS-1 boxcar. Intermountain kit painted, lettered and weathered. Mostly C-D-S dry transfers except for the pennant herald which is form the AARRT&HA set. |
|
AA 1407, one of the XML PS-1 boxcars in the series 1400-1409. The 1407 is the one to have the large pennant as far as I know. Intermountain kit, painted and lettered mostly with C-D-S dry transfer. |
|
AA 460, another 400-series PS-1 boxcat from an Intermountain kit (painted with C-D-S lettering). This is not the orginal paint scheme (the basis of the model was an Emergy Gulash photo in the Morning Sun book "GN Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment." In the background is a photo of a GB auto rack is AA 460 in this paint scheme). |
|
AA 68007, a 6800-series car belonging to Dan Gawrych. Believed he used a Branchline kit as the basis of the model and C-D-S dry transfers. |
|
AA117, Dan Gawrych model based on the Bower kit and weathered to match a Dennis Schmidt photo. |
|
AA 2834, an Overland brass model painted in the mid-1970's paint scheme. No compass heralds and smaller style road number. |
|
AA 2835, another Overland brass model. Paint scheme is "one of a king." The first DT&I repaint of an AA caboose cira 1964. All red body but with the white stripe. Compass herald (fromm the AARRT&HA white compass herald decal set) is slightly larger than the standard ones used later. Note also the "AA 2835" above the door. This was unique among cabooses in service on the AA also. This paint scheme lasted a year or so then 2835 was repainted into the standard DT&I scheme with yellow ends, smaller compass, and no white stripe. |
