on the NSPRR. Fortunately though the NSLW has been able to complete some projects over the duration of the summer. We've been able to work on a Super Chief set for a friend of mine, refurbishing a set of old Tyco passenger cars as well as an A-B-A of Tyco Santa Fe F7s, of which we are finishing up the last A unit, Santa Fe 4015. Also for another friend of mine, we are nearing completion on a fictional Union Pacific Auxiliary Tool Car to accompany his Union Pacific Veranda Turbine. The inspiration for this car came from UP 9336 which is a Tool Car that serves UP 844 and 3985 and presumably in the future, 4014 as well. The car was rebuilt and repainted from an old UP reefer and will be dedicated when it is delivered. The tank for the Gurley has currently been set aside in light of a new fleet upgrade to Kadee #158 scale couplers, of which ATSF Mechanical Reefer 55360 is the first to receive as well as weathering. Also since the last update, the NSP locomotive roster has revived a new comer in form of Southern Pacific GP38-2 4837, delivered from Athearn this past June with Tsunami Sound, a first for any NSP locomotive. With 4837 now in service along side 3851, 3507 has now been disassembled to begin its rebuild, joining the long line of pending projects. Well, that's going to do it for this update, but to end it, here's a photo taken from the NSLW's Shops of (front to back) ATSF 55360, UP 200713, and ATSF 4015.
