A Couple of New Items for the Layout

I've received a couple of new items for the layout this week.

First up I have this Atlas Master Series GP40 in CN striped scheme, which I bought as a used item through facebook's Canadian Railway Modellers Buy/Sell group.

The model arrived from Montreal in good condition on Thursday.

I removed the body shell to install a decoder, an ESU LokPilot, successfully tested it with the body off, and then put 'er back together.  Took only a couple minutes and done.  Runs great and the lights all work as they should too.

The previous owner had done a little weathering, mainly on the top surfaces.  I'm not crazy about the way it looks right now, so I'll either remove that weathering it, or if that doesn't work out my plan B would be to just paint black right overtop of it.

Also this week, I received these two HO scale 3D printed forklifts.

My friend Brian asked a friend of his if he would print these for me.  They turned out great !

Once I get these painted, they should look great in the doorways of a couple of the loading docks along the railroad here.  So special thanks to Brian and Leo for creating these for me.

That's all for this time.  I hope you all have a good week.  I gotta go rake some leaves outside.
