I have had great luck with LL engines. I have 3 GP-18s, 2E-8s, 2 F-7s, an Erie-Built, and a switcher. They are all smooth runners. I feel they...
R.I., was the San Antonio Pacific a real RR at one time, or is that a personal creation? I like the lettering.
Wow CBQ, quit sugar coating it and tell us how you really feel. I can't speak for New York, because I never really spent much time there. The...
