New E-8

Santafe 2343 · May 9, 2010

After all theses years of restoring antique toy trains and custom painted G-gauge trains, I am now having my panit jobs done by Fred Tennyson, The kid is good. I just can't take the fumes and other problems that go with it. I even sold him my Dupont paint booth. Now I can just work on building custom engines. His work is impeccable. Here is one of my latest E-8's he did and is doing a second one for me. Here is another one in the bottom picture he did also that I have.[/b]

WOW.. very nice work... impressive.

Great looking paint jobs! Just a reminder that photos need to be 800 pixels or less, and to hit the "return" key between each photo so they don't display next to each other. That keeps us from having to scroll side to side to see them.

Will you and Fred be in Woodstock next weekend? If so I might have to get away from moving to stop by.

Tom Thornton

Here is the information for Fred

Fred Tennyson
6553 Weston Circle East
Dublin, OH 43016
614-873-3182

He does a lot of work for
St Aubin, RLD Hobbies, & G Scale Junction just to mention a few.

Rates are usually

125.00 for Locomotives
75.00 for heavywight passenger cars
60.00 for freight cars.

Since I am speaking for someone else ( with his approval ) I should say prices are subject to change without notice.

He does do very good work.

Fred, is good at painting. I had him paint a GP38-2 in ICGRR colors, numbered 9600 and named "Casey Jones". The ICGRR named all of their GP38-2 after ICRR people. He also painted several boxcars for me.

here it is.

Tom Thornton · May 14, 2010

Hope to see both of you there this weekend.

Tom Thornton

Santafe 2343 · May 16, 2010

Tom,
I didn't see you there yesterday. I have both engines with me. Also had my newest creation with me also.

East Broad Top · May 17, 2010

Sharp! Did you do any work to the B-unit besides painting it? I've always been a B&O guy. (Great-granddad was a brakeman in Baltimore.)

Ummm..... Aristo does not make B units Kevin, that is the big deal... a really big deal that Rex figured out how to splice the chrome units without a visible splice line... (I have one of his chrome ATSF B units)...

The B units are made from TWO A units...

Regards, Greg

East Broad Top · May 17, 2010

Aha. I'm so used to seeing Marty's and Rex's photos featuring E-8 A-B-A lash-ups that I never gave a thought to the B-units all being custom. I figured there had to be something there beyond just the new paint... thanks.

Later,
