LOL, Next time I'll check the website before asking the price question. I'm going to keep pinging away on Ebay or Athearn to see when I can come up with a couple of SW-9's. On the website, the engines I'm particularly interested in replicating are the pictures dated for the 1997 photos. Just to give some background, my interest in the St. Lawrence RR is that it is the same railroad that thrived in my hometown all my life. Norfolk, NY is where all the engine shops and a large paper mill were located. Conrail was always the most commonly seen power around my area, throw in a few CN's, but it was always pretty neat to see a little shortline like the SLRR on the move. I think the track route stretched out about 20 miles total, and that might be a generous estimate. I was always far more interested in the fast moving, long Conrail consists, but reserved a special place in my heart for my "hometown railroad". Consists were generally no longer than 10 cars, usually 5 or so, and crawled at a snail's pace between the Norfolk and the Norwood, NY SLRR/Conrail transition yard. SLRR officially went off the tracks in late '98, sold all it's equipment, and now the operation is leased out to a RR corporation in Vermont somewhere. Today, you can still see Conrail power, running through Norwood heading for Montreal, or back to Syracuse, and more and more CSX SD-70's and DASH 8's are showing up. Have to admit, gonna miss watching the big blue's cruising through town. Sorry guys, got a little carried away. Sean Hoyden hoydie17@yahoo.com
