I have my own, it is the HO scale Archer Grain, a Shortline based in Kansas. <br /> <br />we have 247 miles of rail, and interchange with the Santa fe at the town of Strong city, and interchange with the Kyle railroad at the town of Archer. <br /> <br />my roster so far is <br />1 Proto 2000 Gp30 <br />1 Custom kitbashed GP19-,1 kitbashed from a p2k gp18 with a cannon dash-2 cab and a chopped nose. <br />1 8-40b ex LMX <br />and we also lease power from the santa fe currently we are leasing a couple of gp30's, and 2 b23-7's and a gp38 <br /> <br />right now on the heavy grain traffic we have 4 trains a day running, and 2 locals a day <br />we have the Cottonwood Falls to Archer Turn, then it returns with empties, then we have the 110 train which hauls the most it starts at thomas and teminates at strong city. <br />then we have the 2 locals that switch all the elevators and a couple of industries along the system. <br /> <br />right now on the 110 train for power is the 8-40b in the lead, and 2 b23-7's and 1 gp30. <br /> <br />on the archer turn we have a gp19-1 in the lead with the gp35 <br />then running the locals is the archer grain gp30, and the other local runs with one of the Santa fe gp30's <br /> <br />In the coming months we will be recieving 6 8-40b's ex LMX, so then we could return most of the santa fe power. <br /> <br />here are some pics of my gp30 loco, sorry i dont have pics of the other stuff yet. <br />[IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/06archerd/IMG_0720.jpg[/IMG] <br />[IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/06archerd/IMG_0718.jpg[/IMG] <br />[IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/06archerd/IMG_0722.jpg[/IMG] <br />[IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/06archerd/IMG_0643.jpg[/IMG] <br />
