When I got started in model railroad about 25years ago, I had already lived just as long with the EJ&E practically in my back yard. It would only seem right to want to model something your so familiar with. I finally bit the bullet and decided to custom paint one of their locos, since no one was ever going to come out with one.It's not true to prototype, but it suits me.

Hurray for the "J"! Nice pic., if you have any others that are a favorite of yours, you can post them to the "Favorite layout Photo" topic at this forum. Again, nice job! ------------------ RAILROADING-TO-THE-MAX, Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Style! Brent Tidaback, Member #234
As a total coincidence, I saw your pic right AFTER I posted a link to a pic of my J SD9 on the SD20 thread. I think I like the handrails on yours better though. I assume it's Atlas. Mine was LL, and the handrails aren't that great. Dave D.
