I similar flavour to the now infamous thread Photographs of N scale Unit Trains I thought I would start another for multiple unit lashup's, this does not have to be just diesel but can also be steam. To start the thread here is a pic just taken of my 4 SD40/2's MOPAC units that were custom painted by Mitch (MOPAC3092)

Wow, Wyatt! I always liked Milwaukee's Hiawatha scheme... Maybe I'll add more later, but here's the CZ gliding behind 3 F3A's:
With all the GP60 talk, here's a little GP60 action, Santa Fe style. Santa Fe GP60's 4030/4000, GP60B 325, and GP60M 115 speed a hot 199 out of CA., 39hrs from Chicago.
Here we see Santa Fe GP60 4030, leading an SD45-2B and an F45, returning with a train load of brand new Ford Mustangs for CA commuters.
Ouch, Jerry - don't flash those B units so soon after Christmas, man!! Great looking setup! Jason, did you recently sell that weathered Big Boy? Man, is that a sweet set-up!! Greg, your layout is coming along nicely! And I second that compliment about your weathering! Hey Keith, how about getting a few tunnel motors? Sweet! I'll add mine a bit later...
EBay! The two GP60's were both numbered 4000, and I renumbered one to 4030, which was one I operated in 1997.
A couple SP SD40T-2's Lead a Roseville CA. bound manifest, Loaded with Northwest timber products. With the helper set cut in mid-train.
Some great pics - love those GP60s Jerry! Here's to build on the SP action shown so far (and to make Jeff drool a little more. . . ) An SP eastbound manifest with a typical mixed bag of power crossing the Tuolomne River in the California Central Valley - ahead lies the Tehachapi range.
I am so impressed with all these pics I had to go and take a few more for this topic. This time it is an SP lashup consisting of a SP SD40-2T a SD45 and SD35.
Love that KodaChrome, Colonel! Here's my DRGW consist of the day: And a dog's breakfast lashup of 4-axle units:
