Tartaruga ha scritto:The Burlington Northern from Lima was only offered by MRC and never appeared in a Lima catalog. The offer I had also seen on Ebay, if ever one in a very good condition appears I will certainly grab. There was also an unpainted version that was only offered through MRC. With the offers with of Lima/MRC Alco C420er must be regarded exactly the offer. In many cases the locomotives were tinkered with and repainted.

grazie Tartaruga , la Alco C 420 non dipinta della MRC l'avevo evidenziata a suo tempo qui :

Tra l'altro l'amico TRICX in quel thread diceva che aveva acquistato una Alco MRC nella livrea gialla Union Pacific magari potrebbe postare una fotina del suo modello
Sono bellissime le ALCO lima putroppo il tallone di achille di questi modelli sono le ringhierine, spesso incomplete o danneggiate in diversi modelli usati che vidi ai tempi .. che voi sappiate non c'è nessuno che le replichi ?
A me ad esempio manca un cancelletto anteriore di una ALCO C 420 nella livrea del bicentenario è ottima ,ma manca appunto la ringhiera anteriore.

thanks Christoph, the unpainted Alco C 420 from MRC I had highlighted it here at the time:

Among other things, the friend TRICX in that thread said that he had bought an Alco MRC in the Union Pacific yellow livery maybe he could post a photo of his model of him
The ALCO files are beautiful unfortunately the Achilles heel of these models: -x are the railings, often incomplete or damaged in various used models that I saw at the time .. that you know there is no one who replicates them?
For example, I am missing a front gate of an ALCO C 420 in the livery of the bicentenary is excellent, but the front railing is missing.
