Brooklyn Harbor? :?:
It was a typo, supposed to be "BG". Decided not to go with the lettering in the logo.

Decals applied, just needs a clear coat, windows and a few final details then it'll be lighting/sound and weathering.

Beautiful looking SW1500..

Thank you Reinhard and Larry
Clear coat is dry so I threw on some handrails. The cylindrical MU Cable holder probably could have been placed higher up on the stanchions but it'll do.

Something else in the works, pretty eager to get these started.

I was hoping to see an earlier model EMD switcher in the Brooklyn & Greenville scheme.

I was just thinking that the NW2 - SW1200 car bodies are perfect for your scheme. Don't get me wrong, I love how the SW1500 looks, but a classic scheme on a classic locomotive is always a win/win.
Re: Brooklyn 1st Ave waterfront - Rscott417 - 02-07-2018
I might consider another nw2 but I'm already going to have 2 sw1200s (one being the new rapido model). I would've liked an Alco S series for B&G but I'm going to have an S1 and S4 and just for $hits & giggles I got the Atlas Staten Island S2
