Are the Ski Train F40s going into service next weekend? Heard they were in Denver now and were to get lettered for Rio Grande. Have seen pictures of the unlettered units while in transit. How about a picture of the lettered units, hint, hint. ------------------ Cotton Belt: Runs like a Blue Streak
Hi all, The newly painted FP-40's are indeed scheduled to go out with the ski train the first weeekend. If you want to see some pictures, go to the D&RGW e-groups site and look in the files. If you are not a member, you may have to sign up to look in the files. ------------------ Rod v. B. Rio Grande iNdustries
The last word that I got, the first run will be on the 16th of December. ------------------ Jim Harrawood #85 Utah Rails Wyoming Rails D&RGW---Main Line Thru The Rockies
The 16th is a Saturday. I will put up links to any pictures I find. the only problem with that, it will be Monday before I can get the links up. I just have to go to Helper for the weekend . ------------------ Jim Harrawood #85 Utah Rails Wyoming Rails D&RGW---Main Line Thru The Rockies
And i have to go to a wedding in Cheyenne saturday! I did see the pictures of the units unlettered though. Maybe i'll see what i can see on Friday if i can find them...
There are several photos of the painted (but not yet lettered) Ski Train F40PH's at the N Scale Supply website at this URL: http://nscalesupply.com/ There is one photo on the homepage with links to several more. Don Brown Tucson AZ USA
So THAT's what Rio Grande woulda used if they were still running their Zephyr! I'm also very much relieved- for a while there I was afraid they would be in black with orange lettering. ------------------ Southeast....Southwest.. Ship IT on the Frisco! Bob T.
