Rob Sarna changes paint schemes of former BNSF locomotives

We are delighted to welcome back Rob Sarna to the WMRC. Rob, once a long time member, had moved back from southern Ontario a while back and rejoined the club this month.
 
Rob submitted two HO Scale GP 9's to the club’s model display at our February meeting. He changed the paint schemes of the Geeps to the Huron & Yale Northern (HYN) railway.
 
The NYN is a freelance short line rail line operating 394 miles from Huron, S.D. to Appleton, MN. It was formerly a DMÈ BNSF branch line. On unit 1800 he used his own mix called Imperial Purple and was painted with Microscale. VTRR stripe decals were added. Unit 1802 Microscale generic lettering and Herald King BN stripes were used.


 

These are not kits! Tyler Fedoroshyn designed and printed these Jordan Spreaders!

These are not model kits! These Jordan Spreaders are entirely 3D designed and printed by WMRC member Tyler Fedoroshyn! They began as 3D CAD drawings, broken down into about 60 pieces, and printed on his AnyCubic Photon 3D printer. They were then assembled, painted and scaled to match the prototype.

The one difference between Jordan spreaders is the size of the side wings. Tyler has designed four different wing styles to match the CP, CN, BN and ONR Jordan Spreaders. Tyler is offering the Jordan Spreader model as a kit.

Along with the Jordan Spreaders, the snow plow and the SD-40-2 are representative of modern CP snow fighting trains which Tyler modified or custom built after the equipment around the Lake Louise station.
