AT&SF Class 5001
Finished Loco 5006
All,
The 5006 is totally finished now. I have attached 20 photos of it without the usual annoying tags all over them so you can just enjoy what this huge engine looks like from various angles. I left a few of the close up photos at high resolution, so you could zoom in closer than usual. 5006 has been accepted by management and is now hard at work pulling long freights on the ATSF&SP railroad.
After 5009 is finished as well, I will do a You Tube video so you can watch these behemoths in action and hear what they sound like as well. The sound is very impressive. I will also do a photo spread on 5009 upon completion of it. Until then, enjoy these photos.
