    Thanks Box, those are not hard to do. The Dash 8 40BW has been on here before #577. The SD 70M was purchased at the same show as the ES44. I hit it with a light fast coat of light gray/white to pink it up a bit.

    Here is a photo of the SD70M bought at the OKC show. I hit it lightly to lighten the red.

    This is strange, the thumbnail is upside down, the big photo isn't. Any ideas?

    I got this steam locomotive from ebay today but one of the connecting pins that make the locomotive move broke while testing this locomotive

    I think Ebay is code for "Buyer Beware" sometimes. But that loco ought to be new enough to be able to get repair parts. How did it sound?

    It sounded ok when I ran it except the part that was broke that makes the drive wheels move on one side

    Is it a driver pin? Can you post a picture of it?

    New NS OCS car

    Found this little gem in the toy store in Ashland, VA. I have added it to my OLS GP60 and Southern GP59. Looks like I am off to a good start for a small OLS type train! Enjoy! JMS

    Just acquired a Proto 2000 GP30 as a companion for my B40-8. Good price off eBay.

    Needs the usual Santa Fe cab roof fittings. Can anyone tell me which type of air horns I need for this?

    The cab roof fittings differed from year to year and loco to loco. It looks like units in the 3200s would be 1970s -- best route is to search Fallen Flags and rrpicturearchives for something close.

    Thanks, will investigate. Thinking of 1980's timescale

    Very nice Kevin, what are the Utah units? Alcos? I'm a modern modeler.

    Alco RSD-15's, I plan on using them as yard goats and /or possibly mine train run. The rest of my fleet are more modern and are road engines.

    (Just the engine in the foreground)

    These aren't that new, but when I was running the engine on the right, it hit something so I decided to stage a wreck...
