[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by BRAKIE [ How about GP38s,GP38-2s,GP40,GP40-2,GP50s,B23-7s and other such common 4 axle units aren't these part of todays railroading? If you think all these kids see is pig/stack trains I highly suggest putting some time in trackside and watch the show.[:D] [/quote] Those are great locomotives but finding them on the head of road train today is getting more and more rare. In fact, while I was a conductor and engineer for CSX I rarely remember having 4 axle power on the train, unless we were going to set it out for a local to use. I know that 4 axle power still exsists and is still used by Class 1 but, mostly on locals and branches. Not terribly enduring to youngsters but, maybe that is a poll we could have for the younger members of our board. But like I said, if you like 4x8s then build away. In fact I actually am going to go out and buy the new MRR just for the article on the 4x8 railroad.
