    So there I was , idly sitting watching VRF (sad but true!) when NYC Heritage SD70Ace #1066 rolls by as part of the consist. I have to confess jumping with excitement and rushing to get my model out.... How exciting is it to see one of your own Loco's being used in real life? especially a Heritage Unit ! Model is pretty close to the real thing... VERY Happy!! :):):):) 10661.png 10662.jpg

    That is pretty coool
    Given that I only have 2 older make locos I'm guessing it won't happen to me. ☻

    As I model the late 1970s/early 1980s, it's been a long time since I've had that experience, but I remember that it sure stokes the ol' firebox for modeling enthusiasm. [Top photo, 08/18/1978 Barrington, IL, bottom photo N Scale Arnold Rapido cab car]
