Model Railroader had an article about the Clinchfield Railroad MANY years ago. I believe Gordon Odegard used a bandsaw to cut the Heljan furniture...

@arbomambo Bruce--Did you do the black decal trick behind the grills on the F units? Ben
How long is the EM-1, or how long is the wheelbase? There are several of the 120' turntable and motorizing kits on eBay now. It may be your best...
