That's a really nice looking NYC loco, did you paint it?

The Alco FA/FB is from a small batch series made by a & k tt modell and sold by the German retailer Siegfried Heerde. The engines were painted by the manucfacturer with a paint sceme on customer request. I'm probably the only one who owns that engine in NYC livery.

Great choice of paint scheme Joern. When I was a kid I saw Alco PA passenger train locos running in the SouthernPacific paint scheme but NYC locos didn't run here in western USA....dave

As a new project, I made a diorama of a typical scene in a modern limestone plant in the Harz mountains:

Nice "dirt"! It's very well done and realistic looking. Perhaps a bit of weathering on the car?

There already is a light weathering on the car. Maybe better to be seen here:

Aha yes! A bit off topic.....those hoppers look terrible with the seam across the body....

Maybe, the seams looks slightly too prominent on the model. However, it it exists also on the prototype, see: http://goo.gl/gRcAU
