This C-19 is an early run PBL Sn3 engine.  It had been custom painted but the paint was badly worn.  The engine was stripped of the old paint and new paint was applied at 7th Street Shops.  The client requested that details painted different colors on the original job be replicated with the new job.  
New glass and the original crew were also added.  The locomotive was weathered similar to other engines owned by the client.  A number of minor parts had come loose and were repaired and DCC with sound was installed.  See additional pictures on our DCC Installation Page.
   
   
Recently this pair of HOn3 PFM Mason Bogies were painted at the 7th Street Shops.
DSP&P 43 represents a post Union Pacific renumbered locomotive.  7th Street Shops installed the Congdom Stack as part of a modification.  The railroad began using these early in 1883.  This model belongs to Bruce Jackson.
   
This engine represents a Bogie in the early 1880's.  7th Street Shops uses a special technique to give the Russian Iron Boiler a sky blue reflective sheen.
The model belonged to Jack Hutchens, who recently sold it on Ebay for $580.00 it has a very low geared can motor and runs very well.

The above schedule is an approximation and applies to unpainted brass.  To strip old paint we charge between $100 - $250 depending on the size of the engine.  For larger scale painting please call for an approximate quote; we suggest contacting us for more accurate information concerning your engine and what you want, regardless of the scale.  Note:  The above prices include two colors (typically black and a colored smoke box, firebox or others).  Additional colors range between $30.00 - $50.00 depending on size of engine.  All lettering is included in the above price or as modified in an estimate (for example, a guilded Mason Bogie might be an exception).   Engine will be clear coated at no additional charge.  We use Scale Coat I paint for a superior finish.
