    </font>[/QUOTE]It can get cold around these parts, Grant; too cold for wearing shorts. Indeed, it has been known to drop to nearly freezing on the occasional night!!!! :eek:

    Hemi, I am leaning on painting one into MRL and the other two into the Ski Train. For some reason I just do not like the F40, but I really like the F45s GRIN. For mine I will go with the MRL gave them to the Rio for next to nothing when MRL got there SD70s and the Rio rebuild them for the Ski Train.

    Here's the latest.....

    The laser cutter accidentaly sent the wrong windows (SD40-2F). The F45 windows will be shipped on Friday. Drawings haven't shown up yet but expected any day now.

    I appreciate your patience. Wish I had some more of it!!!

    I had the 390 on my train a few weeks ago. Took pictures of both sides of the loco, in the cab and engine compartment. I think we have all the MRL units covered now. ( I would post some pics but can't get them to post)
