Columbia Valley Pacific - Ge 44 Tons shunter

Unread postby QcRail » Sat Jan 25, 2020 11:46 am

I have been thinking that the Great Bend Fabrication needed help when electric shortage occurs and the steeplecabs are not drivable...

Thus Columbia Valley Pacific R.R. has acquired a Ge 44 Tons switcher, in response, from RWA !**duh*!!

We are in the process of repainting and hell has broke loose in the shop. We are struggling with the different white bands, the twin peaks, etc. to allign among the 3 textures files.
Thus we are sharing a quick press release to show our progress ... *!lol!*

We are almost there!

Oups! we're out of black paint and the little critter is not quite ready. The top of the engine housing needs a few gallons of paint and other parts need touch up .... !*roll-laugh*!

Will tackle a second version - this one with the white maple leaf logo !*brav*!

I like it. Which 44tonner model did you use as the basis?

The CVP Twin Peaks version of the Ge 44Tons switcher has been uploaded in the RWA library.

Been working on the maple version
