Kurt,
That is tremendous work!
The engine's not too bad either......

Sorry to hear that Bushwick Terminal bit the dust, but regarding the O scale PS box car and the Baldwin S-12 only one word to say WOW!

I fully agree and will state that's why I stay away from O Scale two rail..The detail is marvelous and easy to see.

I appreciate your kind comments. I will keep you informed about the progress I am making on my Baldwin. It is only a small project compared to building a layout, but at least it will get finished.
Larry, I think O scale makes building such an engine much easier than the smaller scales. The details may be more visible, but the size makes them easier to handle as well. When I am detailing HO engines I need tweezers all the time and I cannot count anymore how many parts they sent flying into the orbit. Working on an O scale engine I can grab almost all parts with my fingers – big advantage

Kurt,
Someone here mentioned that you were posting about your build on another forum. I checked it out and saw that you had a question on the color of SLRS 308. I spoke with a friend who works for the SMS Rail and he said that 308 is their only black S-12. The color is Rustoleum flat black and the lettering is done in a yellow vinyl. If you do the S-12 in the green scheme they use a custom paint mix, but he said any paint that matches Reading Green would be very close.
I have always enjoyed your modeling and scratch building abilities (your already aware of the headlight), looking forward to your future progress.

Re: Bushwick Terminal - cnw1961 - 01-28-2015
Bruce, thank you very much for that information. I am not modeling a specific engine, but I want to letter it for SMS, giving it a fictional road number. I am still torn between SLRS 308 and SLRS 9069 as a sample, though at the moment I am leaning towards Brunswik green.
I know that the headlight on my engine is not standard for a Baldwin, but it is the best way for me to model the headlight. I found several pictures of Baldwns with that kind of headlight, so I can justify having it on my engine.

Wonderfull stuff Kurt,
Glad to hear from you again, that Baldwin looks great! Deserves a thread on it's own so it's easy to find! (maybe you did already).
Anyways, great to see you're ok!

Ha..!! I thought that logo looked familiar...! Great to see you back ...!!
It's obvious your absence hasn't diminished your modeling skills...
Look forward to seeing this project through to the end...

Hello!. Was this layout finished?, any new project?
Re: Bushwick Terminal - CPSD40-2 - 02-15-2017
So I am resurrecting this thread just as a big thank you to CNW1961! I saved this plan back when it was first published, and I've done a little bit of adaptation and stretching, along with the addition a 2-track staging area that curves off one end. I dry-fit the track, hooked everything up and played with it for a couple of weeks, and this plan is one of the most enjoyable switching layouts I've operated on! My sons and I are looking forward to the process of scenicking this, but for right now I am finishing up valance construction and lighting.

While this plan is in reality located in Brooklyn, through the magic of model railroading I have relocated it to Geneva, NY and it is known as the Seneca Terminal Railroad, a switching area jointly served by Conrail and the D&H ( formerly the LV ). I have a blog thats been updated pretty rarely till this point, but you can check it out here and keep up with the progress - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://senecaterminalrailroad.blogspot.com/">http://senecaterminalrailroad.blogspot.com/</a><!-- m -->
