The Sweep Returns Onto the Layout

Spent a few minutes out railfanning around the layout this week, and caught the old CN Sweep on a little switching run.

I kitbashed this engine several years ago.  It's an old Athearn blue box switcher frame, motor and cab, with an Athearn blue box GP9 long hood.  Not absolutely perfect, but I put new wheels on it a couple of years ago and it runs really well.  The lights are led's that I had installed at Pete's Trains in London, Ontario.

Here's just a few looks at my SWeep 7104 at work:Running light as it passes behind the transload area on the JSSX

I like this view beneath the Gratiot overpass, with an auto parts train passing by in the background

This is actually an older picture, taken beneath the Gratiot overpass

Have a nice week out there.
