Excellent Dougal!
WERD Locomotive Leasing just purchased it's first locomotive.
It's a GP35, an ex-MOPAC unit. It's in the shop now going through a quick paint job & should be ready in a couple of weeks I hope. When I find time to actually work on it.
We hope to purchase some six axle power by the end of the year.

Gordon
President, WERD Locomotive Leasing

Brought to you by the letters C.P.R. as well as D&H!

 K1a - all the way

Just go to www.trainiax.0catch.com/mescaleloco.htm , click EMD ALCO or GE. When you find the engine you want click it, when it finishes loading right click it and choose "save as" and save it. Then go on your painting program (i.e. Microsoft Paint) load the file and start painting (use the bucket for the best results)!

If you have a problem post it here and I'll se what I can do to help.

I forgot to mention that the helpers (4010-4011) are ex CNW and ex SP. I'll buy CR units so I will only have to paint the nose and rear of the engine red and keep the blue.

As I said before if you have any questions or comments just post them here!
