Ooh love that RS18. the bossman knows how to flick my switch Big Smile [:D]Thumbs Up [tup] More glossy than I had ever seen one in real life ,mind you any I saw were in Barricade stripes and at the end of their operational lives.But still those 251's would howel and dig  in with the plate steel trains going out to the Port Weller drydocks Thumbs Up [tup] I'm not sure but that one diesel hydrolic at the South Simcoe may be the only one left of those little critters.

-Yes-finally the memory returns-Was the Southern New England layout-one I always fancied building if I had the space,-pic is of a `C-Liner` (possibly a pair) with a C.V 2-8-0 as a pilot running through winter foliage on a bright day-footnote-is evidence to suggest that `C-Liner` has been spotted on the O.N.R taking the old `Northland` train up to Kapuskasing-got this from Frank Vollhardt-the most reputable of sources on O.N.R matters.......

Have a good day
