4. N&W GP38 4129, along with a sister GP38, are painted in the
short-lived experimental "F8" or "Skunk" paint scheme.
The loco-
motives are at the N&W engine terminal in central North Carolina in
the early 1980s.
Tim Kristophel built the loco shop and support structures from kits
which he painted and detailed. The code 83 track and the locomo-
tives are by Atlas. The apartments in the background are kitbashed,
with details added. The scene is not altogether prototypical, but some
of the individual pieces are really close. Tim put the individual pieces
together in such a way to create a very typical railroad scene.
