Conrail U33C Repaint C&O Brick Towers
Below: Structures on the Chesapeake & Ohio had a dis- ti ncti ve, family look. Glenn Glasstett er of Vermont built these two HO-scale models of C&O Standard Brick Cab- ins (towers) from Alkem Scale Models kits. He upgraded the staircases using modifi ed photo-etched fi re escapes once off ered by Sheepscot Scale Products.
Above: Will Jamison of Maryland showed off a number of Conrail units, including this unusual repaint of an Erie Lackawanna U33C. The HO-scale Atlas model is a work in progress, but Will has already faithfully modeled the 6576’s mismatched access covers under the cab, including one adorned with Reading Railroad’s black diamond logo. The blue patch on the roof is a panel that appears to have been replaced aft er an engine fi re. Will presented a clinic in which he explored the prevalence of mismatched access covers on Conrail locomoti ves.
Delaware & Hudson Left : With so many excel- lent ready-to-run diesels in HO today, it’s easy to forget that some models are sti ll not available. This is the case for Delaware & Hudson 1508 — a Phase III Alco RS-3. Find- ing itself in need of a steam generator-equipped diesel and being a devoted Alco user, D&H traded one of its RS-3s to Bos- ton & Maine for this unit. D&H 1508 sports unique number boards and grilles along the long hood. Dick Kozlowski of New York created his model by combining a body from Stew- art (now owned by Bowser), Atlas chassis and trucks, and Athearn fuel tanks. A replace- ment Mashima motor powers the unique locomoti ve.
