Engine 4567 rolls past the Hill Street bridge, as a northbound freight heads towards town. 

 

Have Fun.... Bob.

What a cool shot!  Love the bridge!  And the details on the loco....awesome, even if it is a bit clean.  Is that a new one to the roster?

Phil:

The loco is a MDC kit I bought at a swap meet. Would you believe I paid $29.00 for it! I did however install a can motor and a few Cal-Scale details. As far "too clean". I wanted this loco to have light "running weather" a bit different than the rest of my roster.

Have Fun.... Bob.

$29!  Thats amazing!  And lots of engineers took pride in their loco's appearence.  Nothing wrong with that!  Just seemed a little "out of character" for you, thats all.
