My Brass Adventure

[cnw1961]

You found your self a great deal .

Looks like it, doesn’t it. Don’t know what they ask for these engines at train shows, but compared to the prices on the internet it looks like a good deal. But apart from the price, I really like that engine and that’s what counts most.

A loco like that could almost turn me into diesel fan....

Gus, seeing you build your fabulous steamer almost made me want to get one and try that myself , but I have no use for a steamer ... but I think seeing your engine gave me the last nudge I needed to start looking for a brass diesel.

Before I can start adding details, I’ll have to cut some off first. The pilots of PREX 2053 are flush, so the steps on the pilots of my model had to go. I grinded them off using my dremel with a carbon cutting disk.
