Now that I've completed the PRR E7 upgrade, time to upgrade the B&O version that I hadn't released yet Smile

One thing I need to fix, the nose logo is actually larger in diameter, and the center stripe actually expands to that larger width. Gonna be fun....

I got a little carried away with the IC City of New Orleans... but I haven't forgotten the B&O.

Work is in progress on the modernized heavyweight coaches....

Looking great! Very Happy

With the new B&O West End route getting closer to finalisation we need more B&O equipment in BLW/ZT quality!

Hi Uli,

There will be at least three sets. Gaetan has updated his original B&O set to 2020 standards, plus the addition of some new models as well.

My passenger set will include some of the name trains that graced the B&O west end as they appeared in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Chris Parker and I are working on a freight set, also based in the 1950s, which will include diesels and freight cars from that time period, and the last reskinned locomotives by Max Brisben before he graduated college and joined the real world....'
