Bangor and Aroostook Photos

Bangor and Aroostook GP-38's, both Atlas units. Top photo is
unit #93 painted in the tri-color or "circus" theme of the late 1970's
through the 1980's.  The GP-38's are no longer part of the fleet
of the Montreal, Maine, and Atlantic, but a GP-9 is still on site
in Derby with the circus theme paint. This GP-38 has the correct
horn placement on the side of the cab. I added 1.5v bulbs in place
of the standard Atlas bulb for a brighter headlight and a NCE five
function decoder.
 
The other GP-38,  #352, is painted in the Iron Road theme of the 1990's.
This unit has added 1.5v ditch and headlights and a bell mounted on the
long hood of the fireman side. With the NCE decoder the ditch lights are
programmed to alternately flash when the horn is activated.

Walthers Trainline F40PH converted to a freight service unit.  The Iron Road System bought 9? of these units from Amtrak and had most converted to freight service by removing the nose, adding a door, and adding steps/handrails.  I have done two of these units for HO scale.  Modifications required removing some of the metal frame, shortening the nose, adding a new styrene nose and door, custom formed handrails, added working flashers and headlights.
