BLI Paragon 2.  BLI\'s MILW HO-scale version is out of production, so I bought the PRR model (all one color and no stripe \'ghost\' lines) and stripped it bare and re-painted/decaled it for #623 SW7 in mid-50s look.  No MARS, still has pneumatic bell, unique stack arrestors/mufflers for close urban canyons.

Very nice.  Thanks for sharing it.

Even with the muffler I bet it was loud enough with the bell and horn reverberating off the big brick walls.

Since I get errors trying to edit my original post - time limit(?), I\'ll add it here.

This is the prototype in the 70s, I\'d guess.  I has a different roof horn, MARS light and no bell on the hood - probably under frame mounted or maybe electronic?


 
Looks like the engineer\'s door has been replaced from a donor too.
