Title: N Scale Chicago Terminal SW8
Post by: TribuneFreightFanatic on April 18, 2024, 02:08:12 PM

One of my goals this past winter was to finally make an N-scale version of ILSX 900. Here it is!

I completed the larger HO-scale version in 2021 (seen elsewhere in this forum's Modeling section), and after finally securing an old N-scale Walthers/Life-Like SW8 in Fall 2023 I applied the same techniques of repainting and detailing by hand.

While my N-scale layout doesn't have any industries serviced by CTRR, it's nice to have this locomotive on standby in case I do a tiny shelf layout of Peerless or something in the future. Thumbtack for scale.

Very well done.
