HO Scale ScaleTrains Rivet Counter BNSF ex-ATSF GE C44-9W #660, Warbonnet, w/PTC (Weathered)
Here is a heavily weathered HO Scale ScaleTrains Rivet Counter ex-ATSF BNSF patched GE C44-9W No. 660. Although the model originally had factory weathering applied, weathering enhancements were applied across the model to emphasis grime, additional paint fade/peeling, and other dirt/rust work. PTC antennas from MAC Rail have also been added for those who model modern BNSF. The model also comes with a custom RS3L horn that is currently featured in the Leslie Horn Pack Volume 1.
The RS3L can be heard here in this sample video:
