Did anyone else notice that this topic started in July 2003, ended in September 2003 and then restarted a couple of days ago (a year later)? What's up with that?

Basically Rio Grande and SP. But Rio Grande is always power-short (this is the WWII era I model) so it's always 'borrowing' from other railroads. Which means I've got C&S, GN, ATSF, MOPAC, WP, and from the East Coast, C&O and Pennsy. Oh, yeah, and Missabe, but not really. The roster of 2-8-8-4's I use have become the Rio Grande's fictitous 3900 series.
