    That is a great looking drawing wt&c!
    (The onlyest thing I could notice is you forgot Craig's cut levers, and the K-D un-coupler arms are missing.) Besides that, it looks like the real thing! Must be "N" gauge, huh? [​IMG]

    The SD60 looks good! Simple and to the point! Hers a pic of a Winchester and Western GP10 another simple scheme [​IMG]

    Where'd ya get the image? I've been looking for one to try a few paint schemes myself.

    credit for the pic goes to John Kennedy and was obtained from http://trainweb.org/wwrr/

    that's were I got mine. The paint job on the SD60 is identical to the Seaboard Coastline Engine paint job. The Georgia,Tennessee and Southern liked it and in 1987 (the engines only about 1 1/2 years old) the Railroad wasa bought by the Appalachian & atlantic. the Railroad likes to save money so all they did was renumber the engine and paint a small patch over the "GT&S and painted A&A"

    Thanks Corey, on my way to check it out now. By the way, I went to the WW shops today and saw #575 close up. Under the window sill it says GP9 soooo, I guess the website where I got the pic from was wrong.

    By the way, the WW is OK in my book! [​IMG] I took my little boy to see trains today. We got there around 1300 just as a two unit covered hopper train pulled into the siding at the WW shops. We were watching from the road. One of the crewman pulls up in his car as he is leaving and tells us it's ok to enter the area after checking in to see the secretary and walk around and take all the pictures we want.

    One of the yard workers gave us a WW hat (new) and tells us that around 2pm the afternoon crew will be coming in to do some switching. So we take some pictures, look around and leave for lunch. Get back around 1415 and we wait for the train to start working. A short time later, the crew leaves the office boards and unhooks from the hoppers. As they pass us, they make it a point to stop and tell us what they are going to do, where they are going and where the good spots are to watch. All in all it was a great afternoon and I have nothing but great things to say about the WW and their employees [​IMG]
