Hi everyone! Hope all is going well. Here's the selections.

and from Hardcoaler, a NS freight

 

Nice selection again, Bill. I always like shots looking up at trains on a trestle, but I'm really partial to that 80 tonner that used to haul nuclear rocket motors to and from the test range. If anyone wants to model unusual loads, that has to rank at the top!

 

How about an SW1200RSm slaving away in Las Vegas?

 

That SW is a long way from home! It's a CNR Montreal kitbash job, SW1200RS cab and frame, GP9 hood, and 645 power assemblies.

 

Mike is right about the Heritage, it used to be CN 1237, now it is Savage (SVGX) 7107. Here is a closer shot:

 

And what's this locomotive? An homebuilt switcher? Never seen anything that looks like this.... Seems to be the product of a secret love story between a SW1200 and a GP7...

They removed the dynamics fom the GP9 hood, and used that space for air filters.

 

I'd like to see an N scale model of that one.
