I'm a fan of the Rock for sure.
WOW-RTR SD45s! Hope they have them in C&NW. The FEFs look interesting too.
I wish I could've seen it around 91. but then again- it's almost too sad to see all those dead SD45s and Geeps. Pretty much what happened is-...
I'm drooling over those CGW F5s, I'm only wondering if they'll make it to Athearns "regular" line.
Ok, you were right. Only thing I noticed is, on NS 5046, the fans are spaced as on GP38s. Whats up with that? I'm under the impression ALL GP38-2s...
It looks like some of those buildings are made from Walthers backshops? (out-of-production, I believe)

So let me ge this straight, hemi- MILW tracks used to be where that "road" is now? BTW, I coulda swore a heard the ghost of a MILW S3 4-8-4...

Here's pics of the layout so far- future location of the shops [IMG] This is the open area on the plan. On the left side is going to be an...
Geek, the shortest track will be about 3', altho is doesnt show that on RTS (several thing changed when tracklaying started). As fas as passing...
I forgot to mention, I run DC, and will eventually have cab control so you could walk with the local to switch the town between Oelwein and...
