Joe!! Stop! Don't do it! The pics of the coaches are great and they deserve an equally wonderful loco, but you have to have a D&RGRR loco. Anything, to me, that's RG is a thing of beauty so I guess I'm biased. After all, you will be able sell running rights to the RG on the NMRR which will help balance the books when you do company returns!!
Cheers,
Kim

Hi Joe
Just to be difficult I choose option three reletter the whole set that way you have a flrrt of stock for your chosen railway. but do leave some stock in other railway names later on.

Thanks for the suggestion and solution. This is my original plan, as of now it looks as if I am going to stick to it.

Again thanks,

John,

I too thought of that, but was quick to feel sorry for the pristine condition of the "Gold Rush Set." I like Kim's idea of continued trackage rights.

Capt. C.,
Give it time. You may find yourself one day looking at a repaint. My Shay sat for a LONG time before it became aquainted with it's new colours. Then again I was tired of the Henry Ford black. Have fun. Later eh...Brian.
