Day 158

[limeinadelvr]

It's a shame the first MKT animation meme I'm posting is an incomplete one, but I was getting really stressed towards the end and didn't want to burn myself out. Something is better than nothing, after all. So here it is.

Before I started stressing I was having a lot of fun working on this and learning new skills along the way, which I think actually shows the further into the video you go. Maybe one day when I'm better at this I can remake this vid in full. Until then, I'm pretty satisfied with what's here.

I've already gotten another (shorter and simpler) animation meme idea in store, so expect that sometime in the future (⸝⸝⸝ᵒ̴̶̷ᴗᵒ̴̶̷ꕤ) until next time!!

Theres no doubt that steam just has that alluring aura that can appeal to folk both young and old, but I'd be lying if I said diesels don't have similar appeal. In most cases...why not just try for both?

For the holiday season (and my Birthday) I got to snag two new engines for the collection. Both models are Athearn.

The steamer is an Athearn-Roundhouse 2-6-0 Mogul as Denver & Rio Grande Western #942. This is one of their most recent models, which I believe hit the shelves a few months ago as of this Jan. 2026 post. It is representing a G-26 class set from the 1930s to 1941 based on the lettering style. It is by no means an accurate representation of the depicted engine but I don't think anyone has a model of the real thing so its still a good stand in. This model has DCC & Sound equipped which I have yet to test due to my controller being stored. In time I will swap out the couplers to Kadee 58 or 158 scaleheads. I am not sure if I want to detail the engine or not, since im sure that making an accurate looking G-26 will require me to start with something else entirely.

The diesels on the other hand are Athearn Genesis, representing an EMD F-3 Phase II A-B-A set lettered for the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (Also known as the MKT or "Katy" Railroad). The units are 205-A, 205-B and 205-C, representing what I believe are the as-delivered looks from June of 1947. These units are all powered with a can on the inside and appear to have been super-detailed by a previous owner. Such super-detailing includes coupler cut levers, trip-pin less rusty painted Kadees, American Limited diaphragms and even minute weathering near the exhaust vents. These units are still DC operated (or at the very least DCC Ready) and are all very smooth running engines. I cannot wait to get DCC installed and have the trio ready to roar down the rails with a freight train.

Its also worth noting that the photo of the MKT diesels, to me, doesn't do the engines justice. The red is VERY brilliant in person. Dare I say it'd look better than the Santa Fe's warbonnet! But the only reason I'm not doubling down on that is because I don't have any warbonnets yet. Well, I do, but not in HO Scale. The Lionel Super Chief set I'll showcase another day.
