    Russ, your skills amaze me!
    That GP60M any easier to build now that LL made a '60?
    What mech did you put under each? Wow, a lashup of a 60M, B, and a few 4-axle high-horsepower GE's would be a sweet consist with the ATSF's hottest train..

    Thanks, Hemi! :D

    Yes, the LL release would make building a GP60M easier....mostly because of the fact that the LL unit comes with handrails. Of course, the toughest part is fabricating the cab, which went like this....

    The GP60M above rides on an Atlas GP40-2 mechanism and the GP60B rides on the stock LL mechanism.

    Before the GP60M, Santa Fe ordered the GP50. Here's my Kato GP50, from Santa Fe's first order, with the rounded blower duct.

    Tony,
    Those are some great looking cabeese. That ex-Baldwin caboose is a very unusual model. Was the prototype a one of a kind or were there more.

    BNSFtheLeader,
    You need to get the URL of the photo, not the webpage url. To get that, right-click on the pic, click properties, and highlight/copy the URL.

    here's what it should like: http://www.railimages.com/albums/joshuawoods/aaa.jpg
    Add the tags, and you get [​IMG]
