Happy New Year everyone!Here's my latest reskin from TKW, CSX CW40-8 7812, "The Spirit of America". This unit was painted for use on George Bush's Whistle-Stop tour while on CSX tracks during the 1992 Presidential campaign, and was temporarily numbered 1992. After the 1992 election, CSX renumbered it back to 7812, removed the POTUS logos, and added the "Spirit of America" lettering. It was painted into YN2 paint sometime in the mid-to-late 90's. So, without further adieu, here it is: CSXT 7812 "The Spirit of America!" – image 3
I just have to give her a QA inspection and package her up, so it should be uploaded sometime tonight (1/1/03).Chris Denbow - Baltimore, Md.

When applied to a vehicle, the blue part of the flag always goes toward the front.

RE: CSXT 7812 "The Spirit of America!"

Thanks for all of the kind words fella's! And Michael, I wish I had your pics to go by a week ago. I just spent a very wet, cold, miserable night working out in the rain, so I'm having some Swiss Miss and calling it a night. This unit will be uploaded tomorrow (1/2), I promise! And for fans of "earlier" CSX ops, I've started on sets of CSX "retro" units. I'll post some pics as I get them close to being ready for the public eye. Chris Denbow - Baltimore, Md.

>Been watching for this one - did it get uploaded to the
>library? Michael,Sorry for the late reply. Between a trip to Sandpatch, a death in the family and complications in my wife's pregnancy over the last week and a half, I haven't had much time to upload this one or do much of anything on the computer. Things have settled down a bit, so I'll be uploading this as soon as I get a chance.Thanks for the interest. Chris Denbow - Baltimore, Md.
