    Can we post pictures of our RI models here? I have one that is a reletter for SSW and CNW. I presume that is toward the end of the line for Rock Island.

    Ghengis, did you use the Image icon to create your attachments? I have never seen an attachment come up labeled "attachment". How large were the files? I am not sure but I think there is a size limit on images. I keep mine at around 120-150K. :tb-confused:

    My friend Raul Ameca made these engines. They were shown in N Scale Railroading magazine a long time ago.

    These are all painted custom except the U30C. I finished up the E8 better than the picture with them all shows.

    EJEROCK.jpg EJEROCK2.jpg This is a custom model I did in HO. For a time following the demise of the Rock the EJ&E ran trains over the old ROW.
