Thanks for the reply, I too model the RI lines. However, I use 5 different roads with all their original color schemes, and then group them under my own railroad corporation title. My layout/corporation is known as the Mid-Western Doubleline RR, and is comprised of RI, CB&Q, BN, BNSF, Santa Fe and Amtrak. Plus, I have interchange roads as well for my staging area-Conrail, Chessie, CSX, NS, CP, SP and UP. For the interchange roads, I just have a couple of each-or enough diesel power to build up several trains. On my main roads, with the exception of Amtrak, I have at least 10-15 diesels each, and the fleet is growing. My RI models are mainly the Maroon and Yellow scheme with ROCK ISLAND as the logo and ROCK ISLAND herald, and the blue and white scheme with THE ROCK logo and ROUTE ROCK herald. Besides Athearn, can you tell me where I can get DCC compatible blue and white RI diesels and rolling stock? Thanks... -Wolv33
