    A Western Prototype, cool. MTH has done some nice heavy electrics here of late. Too bad they aren’t in 2-Rail, maybe that is good. :D Wallet doesn’t get as abused that way.

    Hi Greg!

    You managed to escape from the RR for a few minutes?

    If I were rich, I'd buy some of these. Two rail would be even better! I keep thinking of what I could do with an outdoor layout, and an EF5 set. Would look fantastic!

    :D

    Well I haven't escaped, just changed shifts. I'm working the grave yard shift, several reasons, so the internet gets little use by me now. Last year MTH offered the electrics with scale wheels, this year they aren't. I'd sneak one set into the house if they did. I find I'm moving my modeling time frame back again and they would look good pulling a train of 50' box cars with roof walks. :D

    Ugh. Graveyard shift. Second trick, I like. But....

    They'd look even better with a string of 40 foot rib siders. Filled with grain, lumber, etc!

    :D

    That they would, but I don't have those. :D I do have a budding collection of 50' cars though. :D Would need the rib side bay window caboose too.
