Why 2007? I model 1997, not because I remember it that well, but because the Conrail split hadn't happened yet (Conrail is one of my favorite Fallen Flags) and most importantly, I don't need to install ditch lights on all of my locomotives!I'd either go use a GP30 / GP35 combo, and maybe use the GP9 in the yard (a GP30 or GP35 needs context, while GP9s don't, since they are so common) or go all Alco and have an RS1 and RSD-whatever. For a two-horse shortline, an all Alco roster (especially with small locos like that) is very prototypical.For reference purposes (and to convince you how awesome Alcos are! [:P]), here's a video I took of the last RS1 in regular service in the world, ex-Rutland RS1 #405, now on the Green Mountain Railroad. Check out the Hancock Steam Whistle and of course the start-up sequence![url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjxCZU13GSw[/url]
