For some reason, I like that the Cab is shorter than the Hood of the Locomotive.

Its really a neat oddball look that these GE’s had at the time!

This is the first video I've seen from your channel and I have come away impressed. You do a fine job a model building, much more than I ever could hope to be. Just subscribed to! Keep it up!

This just came up in my recommenced. Quite the kit build with attention to detail. My HO train set and locomotives are all boxed up collecting dust. Don't have the room to set up these days. Nice ink, too.

Thank you! Glad to see the videos getting recommended from time to time to new viewers. Hope you can get your trains back out again and enjoy them in time!

Nice model . I think it's funny when I was a member of the Marion model railroad club in the 70s and 80s Conrail was hated. Now it's a beloved fallen flag.🤔

@ConrailSteve Месяц назад

Thank you!! Everything goes in cycles and I can understand how those that railfanned any of the railroads that went into Conrail wouldn’t like it much. For me growing up in the 90’s and early 2000’s I watched the Conrail I enjoyed get swallowed up into NS and CSX so I can fully relate to that.

Another Awesome Build! Do you happen to have part numbers, and resources, for the parts used in the build?

@ConrailSteve Месяц назад

Thank you! I do not have a complete list for this one put together as of right now. I will have to try to put one together for it this week and add it to the video description.

@terrymann9723 Месяц назад

Thank You Sir! It would be much appreciated. I have ordered the parts for the BH1C Ballast cars. These will be my first attempt at building like this. Keep up the Great work!

@ConrailSteve 20 дней назад

Just finished adding as much of a parts list as I could to the video description. Alot of parts from this build I used up from my scrap drawer but did my best to at least name them on the list so they can be found for a build. I am sure I forgot a few things but have 99% of it there. If you have any questions on the parts let me know!

@conrailfan6277 Месяц назад

Very cool Locomotive Steve, great build!!! What paint are you using for your Conrail Blue, I stashed a couple bottles away of the Floquil when they folded but I'm looking for a good substitute!!!

@user-lq4mo8dw1p Месяц назад

Floquil was bought by tester corporation...they discontinued the railway colors but until recently was using some of the recipes

@conrailfan6277 Месяц назад

@user-lq4mo8dw1p Yeah that's a Shame, I used it to paint quite a few Locomotives and Cabooses over the years, I managed to stash a couple of bottles of the Conrail Blue and a bottle of Boxcar red!! I looked online after watching Steve's video and scalecoat still has Conrail Blue but I've never used it before!!! I painted 2 CSX coilcars with the Testers Blue, they came out decent!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

@ConrailSteve Месяц назад

I am still using Scalecoat II paint for now as I stocked up a few years ago before they went under. I heard recently that they are coming back but now sure how soon that will be.

Hey CRSTEVE, I’m building a Conrail train with all conrail equipment

@ConrailSteve Месяц назад

Thats awesome!!

@unionpacificrailfan1943 20 дней назад

I was looking at the images looked like it got a dash 8 cab instead of something else but how do you model open doors on a factory cab model that’s already put together ? I have a few locos in my fleet I want to model open doors

@ConrailSteve 15 дней назад

To do cab doors on a factory painted and finished model you have to cut the door out of the cab with a hobby knife and replace it with an etched metal door. Generally to cutt the door out the cab has to be removed from the rest of the shell so you can have better access to cut out the door. The SD38 video I posted last week shows this process so check that out for a little better explanation.
