hey, what is the design on the CP AC4400WC?

[sworrcanada]

That is Turbo Charger fire damage.

[jon1111111122222222]

oh whats a turbo fire?

[sworrcanada]

Modern diesels have turbo charges on the engine to increase horsepower and reduce emissions. GE's are know to have the turbo charger catch fire and damage the engine. That is what I modelled on the first engine.

umm how did u add ditch lights to that athearn engine? and how much and WHERE do you get CEFX's? i have the dcc zephyr if that helps at all

[sworrcanada]

All three engines are Kato models, they come with the ditch lights. Kato did CP Dual flag and Beaver as well as the CEFX paint schemes. I think Athearn has done a CEFX AC4400 as well, but I'm not sure. Microscale makes decals for them if you want to paint an engine in CEFX.

nice bathtub hoppers I just got mine in N scale ... nice consist. I have never seen the red ones in real life, do they run them out east? I get to see the western CP operations only (calgary, lethbridge, BC etc)

great job on the cp ac4400 fire, they were caused by the fuel lines coming loose and spraying fuel on the turbo
