Another new edition to my round house. The C&O L1 Streamline Hudson #490. The only C&O Streamliner. 4 were built and only the 490 remains. A Converted 4-6-2 Pacific. It was going to be the pride of the new Passenger unit, "The Chessie". However, things did not work out as planned. The 490 has been at the Baltimore Train Museum for as long as I can remember. Has been on my Bucket list, since Broadway Limited released it. Beautiful! #trains #csx #chesapeakeandohio #homodeltrains #modeltrain #trainlayout #train_nerds (at North Fort Myers, Florida)

Newest addition to my roundhouse. Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boy. Considered the largest Steam Engine. 85 ft in length, 1.25 million pounds, 6300 HP. 136,000 lbf of tractive effort. Not bad for a 4 cylinder ! Rivarossi model late 1990's. I detailed the cab, added Dcc and sound. Awesome! #bigboy #homodeltrains #hotrain #unionpacific #trains #trainlayout #train_nerds (at North Fort Myers, Florida)

Very fortunate to find a replacement Engine Cowl from one of my RC friends. A trip to Home Depot and some color matched paint and she looks like new. Just the nose art decal to finish it up.#rc#rcairplane #rcwarbirds #skyraider (at North Fort Myers, Florida)

My latest RC Plane project. Starmax A1 Skyraider. Bought from a friend. Did some paint work, detailed the Cockpit and added ordinance hard points under the wings. The Skyraider is one of the unsung hero's of the Korean and Vietnam wars. It was the A10 Warthog of its day !#rcairplane #warbirds #rcwarbird #rcwarbirds (at North Fort Myers, Florida)
