CB&Q Silver Pilot

[nebraska]

CB&Q Silver Pilot.  It is chromed by Chrome Block City.  It will blind you if out in the sun.   Powered by two regular train motors.

Beautiful locomotive!

It will have cost you an eye with this chrome finish ...which may not be a problem as the reflection could still blind you.

Seriously I envy you for this new masterpiece!

Holy cows! That looks amazing. Did you have them chrome all of the pieces individually and then build it like a normal MOC? Looking past the chrome (if that's possible) it's a great build all around. I bet it was nice to be free of "does this part exist in my color?"

Of course you might have to sell your other kidney to do the full consist in chrome.

Wow. Shiny. Great.

You can see what would be possible if such chromed stones were (still/again) available.

This way it is certainly not a cheap pleasure, but absolutely unique.

A real eye-catcher!

Absolutely stunning. Another fine piece you've created. I'll bet it goes wonderfully with your Northern and Big Boy. Do you have a period layout to go with them?

Thank you!  I built it out of light bley originally and then cross referenced what Chrome Block City had in stock and made adjustments when necessary.   What's the going rate for a kidney?  I feel the need to finish the Nebraska Zephyr.  :).

Our LUG - Lincoln/Omaha LEGO User Group has a large layout.  We have our return to the convention scene July 22nd - July 25th - I'll make sure to get some quality photos (that I'm not known for... lol 

Thank you to everyone for your kind comments.

I remember the LOLUG layout from the first days of doing displays in the comic store. I had my small train layout and various fire apparatus and aircraft on display. Sadly, my moves have kept me from returning to Nebraska and seeing how much LOLUG has progressed.
