    Thanks Boxcab:

    I could not understand why it was missing. I guess being down with flu/cold caused me to forget how recent the post was.

    Keep up the good work. I really enjoy the site.

    I have an IC SD40-2 photo But there's some bad news to go with it 6129 has been repainted into CN black and red. 6070 has an Operation Lifesaver logo like the one in 6008
    [​IMG]

    Here is A Half IC/ Half CN Consist. IC 6032 is one of the last two remaining ICG SD40-2 in service. 6031 being converted into 6200 (SD40-3) in 1997 and 6033 destroyed in a collision in Flora, Miss. in 1994

    Hello everyone. I am modeling the IC in N scale. It's the transistion era so we have a 2-10-2, 2-8-2, 4-6-0, as wel as E units and some Geeps. My passenger equipment consits of Con-Cor and Wheels of Time cars. I will be shopping the Con-Cor cars as time permits hopefully making great improvements. The WoT cars will see the most action on the layout representing The Southern Express which will warrant a couple of E-6s and the Northwestern/Southwestern Limiteds which will be powered by an Atlas GP-7TT. All diesels are Atlas or Life-Like Proto. The Central Type is a Con-Cor and the two Mikados are Model Power and Atlas as well as the two Pacifics. I also have one Model Power Mogul on the roster for branch line duty. I suspect the MP engines will see more flue time than the older Atlas 2-8-2 and 4-6-2. A Bachmann Spectrum Mountain is available for dual service but will probably pull fast fruit trains. There are also two Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0s thrown into the mix. I am building a dual era layout that will represent the IC in the 50s and the MSC circa 1920.

    Welcome to TrainBoard!

    By any chance do you have photos of your modeling which could be shared with us?

    Not at the moment. But I'll will as soon as I finish building a module that I want to use for shooting outdoors.
